That’s it! Yum, right? The eggplant gives the lasagna a bit more substance (especially for those who are used to eating it with meat filling) and adds a healthier kick to it. Eggplant is rich in antioxidants as well as fiber. You can either eat it with the skin or remove the skin before slicing it up. Totally up to you! If you find eggplant to be a bit bitter or want to make it a little softer, you can also throw some salt on it (okay, sprinkle, not literally throw), then set it aside for about half an hour. Rinse the salt off before using it to maintain a heart-healthy diet.
This recipe pairs perfectly with our homemade garlic bread. Serve it with a delicious salad to start the meal.

I love eggplant Lasagna and Your version looks so easy! It looks so delicious too. My family will love this.
I love finding new recipes to try out on Meatless Mondays It can be hard sometimes. Thanks for sharing this with us! Yummm
I definitely need one such easy vegetarian recipe as I am having a party at home this weekend for my family. The lasagna looks absolutely delicious & mouth watering and I love that you get it done in such a short time!
Oh my gosh this looks and sounds so delicious. I love eggplant and lasagna. I’m trying to figure out if I could freeze half of this when I make it because I live alone and that seems way more than I could eat in one or two meals. I think judging from the ingredients, that freezing is doable.
I haven’t tried egg plant lasagna before to be honest. This looks so good. I heard cabbage is a good alternative – similar to cabbage rolls.
Vegetarian lasagna is my favorite. I either use spinach, eggplant, zucchini, or a mix. The flavors are delicious. It tastes even better the next day.
Eggplant is one of my favorite things to cook with! I have never made a lasagna before but this looks delicious.
I’m not a big fan of Eggplant, but do know a few people who do. The salt tip is very useful. We do this with our cabbage.
Oh this is great. I’d love to make this for myself! I could use a warm, comforting pasta dish right now.
Absolutely scrumptious! I definitely wouldn’t mind having this for dinner tonight.
That looks amazing! I want to try this with eggplant. I think I might be able to make it without my family knowing there’s eggplant in it! Maybe!? Its actually more my husband that I worry about with eggplant than my kids. He’s just a bigger kid. 😉
This lasagna looks really delicious and it seems quite easy to make. I’ve never made a lasagna with eggplant before, but I’m looking for more meatless options so I am definitely printing this one!
Oh yum! I will have to send this to my sis, she would love it!
