The Best Hidden Veggie Lasagna (gluten-free)

This the best Hidden Veggie Lasagna recipe to try! I use gluten-free noodles that you don’t have to boil, two different veggies are involved and this recipe is kid and adult approved.

What ingredients are in this hidden veggie lasagna:
Mozzarella cheese – shredded. You can buy shredded or shred yourself
Ricotta cheese – I buy the container from Trader Joe’s
Eggs – I haven’t tested an egg substitute for this
Ground beef – I use grass-fed meat. If you prefer no meat, you can omit or also use ground turkey or chicken if you want another meat variety
Carrots – freshly grated or shredded. Alternatively you can dice into small pieces too
Zucchini – shredded from about 1 small zucchini and squeeze out any excess water
White onion – finely chopped for the meat mixture
Jarred tomato basil sauce of choice – use any you want!
Gluten-free lasagna noodles – or use another no-boil lasagna noodle that isn’t gluten-free if you prefer

How to make no-boil gluten-free lasagna:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
Set aside one cup of the mozzarella cheese for topping the lasagna later
In a medium bowl, mix together the remaining mozzarella, ricotta, eggs and parsley
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, zucchini, carrot and onion
Brown the ground beef, breaking into very small chunks as you do (the smaller the better so there aren’t big chunks of meat in the lasagna)
Drain the meat of any excess grease and set pan aside
Spoon a thin layer of sauce onto the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish
Add noodles to cover the bottom (I used about 3) then add a generous amount of the meat mixture followed my cheese (spread across) then some sauce
Repeat the layers until ingredients are finished and make sure the top is sauce and cheese
Cover with foil and bake in oven for 40 minutes, remove foil and sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top then bake another 15-20 minutes or until cheese is browned and bubbling
Enjoy while warm!
