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

[@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/

Tastes yummy!

[@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!

[@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.

[@sydneyalisonbaker]

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

[@netalylevy3764]

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!

[@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.

[@pawshands9706]

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.

[@Apanovi]

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

[@Bbg346]

Yess!! Now I'm craving moussaka 😢😢

[@calystoXXVII]

@@Bbg346 I loooove moussaka! I just remake the original with soy minced "meat". Works like a charm :)

I can see that!

[@christinamariemoney]

OKAY YUM. this is the perfect comfort food dish 😍

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Thanks, love!

[@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!

[@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! 😋

[@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! :)

[@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

[@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?

[@MaeisbeforeJune]

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

[@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!

[@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😊🙏🏻❤️

[@nikkielynn1290]

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

[@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!

[@priyabarua5741]

This turned perfectly awesome..loved it!! Thankuu

[@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! :)

[@lichxd474]

[@lichxd474]

[@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.

[@emmelienbreeman7924]

I usually brush some oil on my eggplant before roasting. Did you leave that out just because your recipes are oil free, or is there another reason, like making the texture of the eggplant a bit drier or something? That soft, roasted, oily eggplant flavor is my absolute favorite so I don't know if I should brush any oil on mine when I recreate this recipe - because I definitely will asap, it looks deeelish!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

I didn't use oil because I try to keep my recipes Oil Free, but you can definitely add some if youd like!

[@lilyrosepoppy]

Mmmm It looks so good! Will definitely try to make it.

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.

I found it easier to layer
