Step-by-Step Instructions for High Protein Veggie Lasagna
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and fresh spinach, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until they soften and the spinach wilts. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine one cup of ricotta cheese with two beaten eggs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the ricotta mixture at the bottom. Layer sliced zucchini or high-protein noodles, sautéed bell peppers and spinach, more ricotta, and then mozzarella cheese. Repeat until the top, ensuring mozzarella is the final layer.
- Cover your assembled lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, carefully remove the foil and return the lasagna to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
Ensure to roast zucchini slices before layering to avoid excess water, which can lead to a soggy lasagna.
