    This keto moussaka recipe has layers of roasted vegetable in a herb tomato sauce, topped with a creamy yogurt topping. It's a hearty low carb eggplant dinner for the family to enjoy.

    I love moussaka as it combines all my love of vegetables, cheese and creamy yoghurt together.! There are many versions of moussaka but this one roasts the vegetables first giving it a lovely taste.   I also love the "bite" of the feta cheese on top.

    Making a keto moussaka

    A moussaka can take time to make and is a dish to make when you are not in a rush. You can shorten the cooking time by preparing the vegetables ahead of cooking.

    I've kept this moussaka vegetarian purely because I don't eat meat and the Chief Taster does not eat red meat. For the meat eaters, make this low carb moussaka heartier by adding a layer of cooked minced lamb or beef.

    The recipe card says to roast the eggplant slices as I find it uses less oil. Eggplant are like sponges with oil! In the photos above I cooked the eggplant slices in a cast iron skillet. Either way, ensure your eggplant slices are cooked before assembly.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 2 eggplants
    • 3 teaspoons salt
    • 2 zucchini sliced
    • 1 red onion sliced
    • 2 red peppers
    • 2 cloves garlic sliced
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon thyme
    • 14 oz chopped tomatoes tinned
    • 1 teaspoon oregano
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teapoon black pepper

    Topping

    • 2 medium eggs
    • 300 ml Greek yogurt
    • 2 oz Feta cheese
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Cut the eggplant into slices, about 5mm thick. Place them in a colander, and sprinkle with the 3 tablespoons of salt. Leave for 30 minutes to release the bitter juices and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
    • Preheat the oven to 220C/425F degrees.
    • Place the sliced eggplant, zucchini, onions, peppers and garlic in a roasting tin (will probably require two tins for this).
    • Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetable. Season with the thyme, salt and pepper.
    • Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, turning half-way through cooking, until golden brown and tender. When the vegetables are cooked, reduce the oven temperature to 180C/350F degrees.
    • In a small bowl, beat the eggs and yogurt. Season with the salt and pepper.
    • Put half the roasted vegetable slices in a layer in a large ovenproof dish. Spoon the tinned chopped tomatoes over and season with the oregano, salt and pepper. Repeat the layers.
    • Pour the yoghurt mixture over the vegetable layers and crumble the Feta cheese on top. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

      Looks delicious! What kind of greek yogurt has a low enough carb count to use? Seems like they all have way too many carbs! THanks!
