Keto Eggplant Lasagna
A hearty and flavorful lasagna made with roasted eggplant slices instead of pasta, layered with a rich meat sauce and melted cheeses, perfect for a low-carb lunch.
Quick Answer:
Keto Eggplant Lasagna is a keto-friendly, low-carb recipe built around satisfying fats, protein and simple ingredients, ideal for a filling meal without relying on grains or added sugar.
Slice 2 eggplants lengthwise, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C for 20 minutes until tender. Meanwhile, sauté 1 chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves in 2 tbsp olive oil until soft. Add 300 grams of ground beef and cook until browned, then stir in 400 grams of diced tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes to form a hearty meat sauce. In a baking dish, layer the roasted eggplant slices with the meat sauce, then top with 200 grams of mozzarella and 50 grams of Parmesan cheese. Bake at 180°C for 25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep portions aligned with your personal macros and choose unsweetened, low-carb ingredients where relevant.
