Ingredients
Scale
3 medium zucchinis, sliced thinly lengthwise
1 lb ground beef
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup marinara sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the zucchinis thinly lengthwise and set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil and cook the ground beef until browned. Add garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
In a baking dish, layer the zucchini slices, ground beef, ricotta cheese, marinara sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
Ensure zucchini slices are thin to mimic the texture of pasta sheets.
Let the lasagna rest before serving to make slicing easier.
