Keto Eggplant Lasagna

Ingredients

  • 2 medium eggplants, sliced lengthwise
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the eggplant slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove and set aside.
  3. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add the garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with half of the mozzarella and half of the parmesan.
  5. Layer the ingredients in a baking dish starting with the marinara and beef mixture, followed by a layer of roasted eggplant, and a layer of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of marinara and beef on top. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan on top.
  6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
