Zucchini Lasagna Recipe (Whole30 + Keto) (2024)

Plus, you won’t suffer the bloat and upset stomach you might get with a traditional lasagna.

Trading In The Bloat And Stomach Ache

I don’t know about you, but I sure used to love all the pasta dishes, especially when they involved lots of cheese. However, I distinctly remember feeling great as I began eating these meals, but pretty terrible shortly after they were over. So for me, the short-lived joy just isn’t worth it anymore. That doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor though!

I thought I’d have a terrible time giving up cheese, but honestly I don’t miss it that much. Every once in a while we do indulge in grass-fed cheese. That is good enough for me, especially when we create recipes like this Paleo zucchini lasagna that are super flavorful and I don’t even miss the dairy!

How To Prep The Zucchini

We’ve found it works best if you cut the ends off, and then slice a small strip off lengthwise to create a flat surface. Lay your zucchini with the flat surface down, and slice thin strips lengthwise to create sheets of zucchini. We try to slice as thin as we reasonable can and then call it good from there. Some pieces don’t turn out as pretty as others, but rest assured. It all comes together just fine in the casserole dish!

Leftovers FTW

You’ll be so glad you made this big casserole dish! The leftovers might just be the best part! It makes for an easy meal another night or is great for packing for lunches. You could even fry up an egg to put on top for breakfast. Just sayin’.
