    If you are looking for an easy eggplant recipe, this spinach eggplant lasagna will hit the spot.


    This spinach eggplant lasagna recipe uses eggplant slices in place of pasta sheets, making it a delicious low carb dinner. A spinach and ricotta cheese filling are used as the main filling making this a less cheesy lasagna that the traditional recipe but is still a hearty and tasty dish.

    I will confess that when I first made this low carb lasagna recipe many years ago, I did not cook the eggplant slices beforehand. Yep. I used layers of thinly sliced raw eggplants and I do not recommend this at all.

    What to serve with this low carb lasagna

    A green salad makes a great side dish, but try a serving of our low carb garlic cheese breadsticks too.

    How to make spinach eggplant lasagna

    The eggplant slices are best grilled as that seems to use less oil than frying them. I find that when you fry the eggplant slices, they suck up the oil like a sheet of strong kitchen towel and the recipe that calls for 3 tablespoons of olive oil turns into 3 cups of olive oil!

    I did not use a cheese sauce with this eggplant lasagna but chose a spinach and ricotta cheese filling instead. As I wanted to bake a vegetarian eggplant lasagna without the noodles I thought a heartier filling would work better. You could always add a layer of cooked mince to this lasagna though.

    The easy steps to make this recipe:

    1. Slice and cook the eggplants. You could make them into strips instead of circles.
    2. Mix the spinach and ricotta mixture and spread it over the eggplant slices.
    3. Spoon low carb marinara sauce over the spinach layer
    4. Repeat the layers and sprinkle the top with the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Bake!

      This is one of the nicest lasagna we have ever made. Being on a keto diet for a month is challenging and this fish made our day.
