Zucchini Keto Lasagna (photos)

During my Keto Diet days (I'm about half way there, was 232 - goal 180), I have not cooked many things I wanted to share, but tonight seemed like a dish folks might want to see. To make this (280 calories, 4.5 grams carbohydrates), I substituted thin sliced zucchini for lasagna noodles, and limited my tomato to one medium tomato that I thin sliced.

Here is what I did (2 1/2 servings)

Need:

1 - small zucchini, sliced thin on the mandolin
2 Tablespoons onion, sliced thin
2 Tablespoons green bell pepper, sliced thin
6 Mushrooms, sliced thin
1 medium tomato, sliced thin
1 cup Italian Sausage - 1/4 - 1/2 inch pieces pre cooked
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese- grated
4 - eight inch diameter, thin sliced rounds of Mozzarella cheese.
1 Tablespoon Italian spice blend from Sam's
2 teaspoons Lawry's Garlic Salt
1 teaspoon oregano
3 teaspoons of olive oil



Started by slicing the zucchini very thin on the mandolin, adding 2 teaspoons of olive oil, the Italian Seasoning, Lawry's Garlic Salt and Oregano. I mixed to coat the zucchini and set it aside.



Then I prepped the other vegetables.



I lubricated 2 oval oven proof casserole dishes and one oven proof round bowl with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, then added the mushrooms as my bottom layer.



Then I added a solid layer of zucchini slices, the peppers and onions.



Then a thin layer of tomato.



And my pre-cooked Italian Sausage (from the freezer)



Next another layer of zucchini, mushrooms, and tomato.



Topped with Parmesan cheese



and a final layer of Mozzarella



The dishes went into the oven at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Then rested for 20 minutes after I pulled them.







Here are shots of what the finished dish looked like.









I have grown fond of zucchini and am 100% certain I will reach my weight loss goal (52 pounds).

I understand this is not Lasagna, but very good. The wife (MHNBPF) has already requested this dish again.

Thanks for looking at my post.
