Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegetarian Eggplant Lasagna
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Slice eggplants into 1/4-inch thick rounds, sprinkle with salt and let sit for 15 minutes.
- Blot the eggplant slices with paper towels to remove moisture. Place them on baking sheets and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and golden.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions for 5 minutes until translucent, then add garlic and mushrooms for another 8-10 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, and Parmesan until smooth and creamy.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, layer marinara sauce, roasted eggplants, half the ricotta mixture, and half the mushroom filling. Repeat the layers and finish with marinara sauce and mozzarella on top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes, then garnish with chopped basil or parsley before serving.
