Ingredients
  • 3 large zucchinis
  • 1 lb organic firm tofu
  • 1 jar tomato basil marinara
  • ½ cup vegan pesto
  • 8 slices vegan cheese we like Field Roast Chao slices
  • 2 large portobello mushroom caps
  • ½ cup gluten-free bread crumbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil divided
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ sliced beefsteak tomato
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400. Peel the zucchinis and slice them into very thin lasagna "noodles." Lay them on a pan lined with a paper towel and sprinkle the zucchini slices with ½ tsp of sea salt to draw out the excess water. Set aside for ten minutes, then blot the water off with the towel. Meanwhile, scoop the spores from the portobello caps and slice them into medium sized strips. Squeeze the excess water out of the tofu and crumble it into a medium bowl. Stir in the pesto and mix well.
  2. Heat ½ tbs olive oil in a skillet on medium. Add the portobello strips and sauté for 3-5 minutes, set aside. In a 9x13 glass pan, lightly grease the sides and bottom with ½ tablespoon olive oil. Layer the bottom of the pan with zucchini slices. Pour ½ cup of marinara on the zucchini, then cover it with ⅓ of the pesto tofu. Add 2-3 slices of vegan cheese and repeat the layers until the pan is full.
  3. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the Vegan Zucchini Lasagna and arrange 3 tomato slices on top. Bake at 400 for 40 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
