Lasagna is a beloved classic, but this creamy roasted vegetable version brings a fresh twist to the traditional recipe. Packed with a variety of roasted vegetables and a luscious béchamel sauce, it offers a delightful combination of textures and flavours. This vegetarian lasagna is not only delicious but also a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your meals. The roasting process enhances the natural sweetness of the vegetables, making it a dish that even meat lovers will enjoy.

Instructions

Roast the vegetables

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, and eggplant with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes or until caramelized.

Pro tip: Stir the vegetables halfway through roasting for even cooking.

Prepare the béchamel sauce

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in warm milk, nutmeg, and salt until smooth. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Pro tip: If lumps form, use a whisk to smooth them out quickly.

Cook the lasagna noodles

Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Pro tip: Lay noodles on a towel to prevent sticking.

Assemble the lasagna

Spread a thin layer of béchamel in a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish. Place a layer of noodles, followed by roasted vegetables, ricotta, more béchamel, and mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with noodles, béchamel, and Parmesan.

Pro tip: Press down gently on each layer for compact assembly.

Bake the lasagna

Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Cover lasagna with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is golden.

Pro tip: Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing to allow the layers to set.
