Vegan Eggplant Lasagna Recipe (Gluten + Grain Free!)

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I've never been a huge eggplant fan until now! What a fabulous idea for a healthy lasagna and creative use for eggplant!

[@love2lovelauren288]

This was amazing!!! I made and I’m new to the vegan cooking and my husband and my 2 .5 year old loved it.. will be using all your recipes!! Thank you so much!!

[@amandazagelow5247]

This was the best lasagna recipe I have made to date! My whole family loves it! Great job Caitlin!

[@neonlightz28]

I’ve used steamed cauliflower instead of tofu and it works wonderfully as well :)

[@devonelle9911]

Kathryn Marie Did you steam the cauliflower first?

[@neonlightz28]

@@devonelle9911 no you simply boil the cauliflower until it becomes tender and soft. Here's a link to the recipe! pamelasalzman.com/hearty-vegetable-lasagna-recipe/

Thank you for the tip!

Tastes yummy!

I am learning about vegan foods and recipes. For the first time in years I am excited to cook again. I am 58 and stoked to learn more. My inflammation is getting much better and I am sleeping better. Eggplant has a delightful texture and is even used as a meat substitute in some Asian dishes.

[@ausrineklapatauskaite5682]

For “cheese” I used half tofu and half boiled cauliflower for cheaper and healthier version, it was very nice. This recipe took me longer than expected but it was deliciuous and my not vegan family loved it, thank you!

[@vickil6325]

Ausrine: Try Diaya Cheese. No dairy. Made of Tapioca Flour and it tastes like real cheese and the flavor is there. Daiya Cheese comes in different flavors.

Hi Caitlin, I think you are a very gifted recipe maker, just wanted to let you know. Your recipies are very refreshing, so creative and original... I like the way you think!

[@sydneyalisonbaker]

If you want to salt the eggplant, you can rinse it off afterwards and then dry it before roasting.

[@carlaoliveira1417]

First time watching you .love the way you are straight to the point not boring the viewers .I will try and let you know.

[@billieannfronczek6737]

I followed your recipe for this delicious lasagna! I made a very large batch and I had a pretty big clean up for the process but wow it was so worth every step!

[@lio8194]

Just made this yesterday. Came out sooooo flippin good. Took some time but worth it!

[@martying94]

Can I ask you if you changed anything in the recipie?

[@TourPace]

Oh my gosh, when I first started watching this I thought great! My garden will be producing dozens of eggplants in about 8 months! Now? I'd be making this sucker for dinner tomorrow night! The creaminess of eggplant combined with that ricotta sauce and some tomato? I cannot wait!

[@joeilyfigueroa7209]

Guys I tried this today.....I didn’t have parsley so I substituted with cilantro and I used tomato sauce because I didn’t have paste. As far as results........this recipe is SUPER good. I was nervous serving my parents because they love the taste of non vegan lasagna but they loveeeeed this one. They said this recipe would be a success in any restaurant.

[@MaeisbeforeJune]

I have not tried eggplant lasagna before, but I’m going to now!!! Lasagna is my favorite food ever!

[@jessieandtalie]

This was delish! I dipped the eggplant in garbanzo can liquid that I whipped before baking (?) I don’t know if it helped or not I was also making hummus so why not use the juice…the eggplant was nice and firm but cooked in the lasagna. This is such a protein packed, filling meal! I live in a house of massage therapists so it’s a great meal when there’s a day when there are a lot of clients and not a lot of time. Such a great dish. Thank you!!!

[@kakaakemi678]

I love eggplant lasagna!! But since I became vegan I've never tried to make one. I'll definitely try your recipe, Caitlin! 😋

[@gabrielmoreno770]

Great overall recipe for an eggplant lasagna. This was my Second time trying out a new whole food plant-based vegan recipe as I must say this is now my favorite recipe. Very easy to make and simple ingredients. I added some fresh rosemary and fresh basil after it was baked. Thank you very much for sharing😊🙏🏻❤️

[@Apanovi]

Its kind if like vegan Moussaka then! Sounds great, Ill have to try that

[@Bbg346]

Yess!! Now I'm craving moussaka 😢😢

Thanks, love!

[@TheVeganTwins]

This looks delicious as always! So... after years of being vegan and watching my favorite vegan youtubers (including you of course!) my twin sister and I finally decided to start our own Vegan Cooking Channel! We've wanted to make videos for years but always gave ourselves excuses like: "We need professional lighting", "Our kitchen isn't nice enough", "Our filming equipment isn't good enough"... etc. But we finally just decided to hell with the excuses! The predicaments are never gonna be perfect and that's ok! Because our first and foremost objective is to get our recipes out to the vegan community! And hopefully even curious meat eaters. Being vegan is our life and cooking/baking vegan is our passion. There's been so many trials and errors and coming from an ethnic family there have been so many recipes that we couldn't find veganized online so we had to make them ourselves. So we really just wanted to share our wisdom and love and passion with the community that we feel so belonged to. I apologize for the self promotion but we know how supportive the vegan community can be and we think that ultimately there's no shame in reaching out for support. We are just super excited to start our journey and appreciate it if you check out our channel. We hope that whoever reads this comment has an amazing day, joyful holidays, and a happy life. 💜 The Vegan Twins

[@DannyVoltaje]

Ours just came out the oven and let me say thank you. My kids loved it. You rock girl. 🤩😍

[@MoreVolumeNOW]

this could not look better! I'll try this next week with a friend who tries to go vegan and needs some help. thanks bringing this my way!

[@danielharris5343]

I made this a month ago and, I think I've had it twice a week since. It's delicious thank you !!!!!!

[@braranita]

This recipe was a huge hit in our family! I'll definitely be doubling the batch next time so I can put some in the freezer

[@MsLuvUmost]

This looks amazing, I’ll have to make it for my non-vegan mother who loves eggplant ! Also.. ravioli! You should make a recipe for a sweet potato ravioli, could be filled with that tofu ricotta, yum.

[@DudyaSH]

This recipe actually reminds me of an italian dish called "parmigiana" with layers of eggplant and tomato sauce. It's not a vegan dish, but it's very easily to veganize by substituting eggs and cheese. Nice recipe btw!

[@LIVEKINDLY]

Okay, but this ricotta!! Who else would eat this just plain out of the food processor?!😍 Also Lasagna all the way for us!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Oh, I TOTALLY could! :)

[@MadalinaZbranca]

This looks so good! And I wanted some lasagna for some time now... And this one is better because it has more veggies than usual too! Thank you for this and for being an inspiration!

[@nikkielynn1290]

Oh yum!!! I’ve been wanting to make egg plate lasagna so I’m super excited to try this recipe out 😊

I haven't done eggplant lasagna, but I've done something similar with zucchini. I'm definitely going to have to try eggplant as my pasta. I love watching your channel even though I literally can't be vegan cause I'm allergic to everything. :( It's great inspiration for me though. The next lasagna I make is definitely going to have lentils in the sauce cause it looked so good!

I just finished eating, it is incredibly yum!! Thanks

[@dianahdunn8075]

It looks delicious, I would a slice right now

[@pollyphotographytips]

It’s very delicious. I would not call it a lasagna, it’s more of a casserole, but even so. it is really good!

[@cantaloupemfpeterson817]

When you say the prep time for this is longer than regular lasagna that ain’t no joke it took me about a good hour and a half to get everything ready to bake…… It is currently in the oven baking now I’ve cleaned up the kitchen wash the dishes I used a disposable aluminum pan a really good one it was about four or five bucks and now I’m going to take my shower as my dinner cooks and I hope it turns out good thank you for sharing this recipe

[@lichxd474]

Why not slice the eggplant lengthwise? Maybe it will give better coverage

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

I found that it was easier to arrange with the circles, but you can try lengthwise if you'd like!

[@kakaakemi678]

I slice it in circles as well because I think it's easier to slice the lasagna 😁

[@madisongale5693]

I think slices with a mandolin would be nice! :)

The homemade tofu ricotta I make is similar to yours, minus the cashews because they are so expensive where I live. I thought it was good with just the tofu and other ingredients but I'd like to try it with the cashews sometime!

Hi Caitlin - what could I use instead of cashews (due to nut allergy)? Thank you 🌻🌻

[@rebeccaflack6884]

Hi Caitlin! This looks so yummy! I can’t wait to try out this recipe. Just out of curiosity, is there any reason you chose to cut the eggplant into round “coins” instead of long ovals in the other direction?

I found it easier to layer
