Ingredients

  • 2 large zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Olive oil for greasing

    Preparation

    1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil.
    2. Slice the Zucchinis: Thinly slice the zucchinis lengthwise using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Set aside.
    3. Prepare the Ricotta Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
    4. Assemble the Lasagna Bites: Place one zucchini slice at the bottom of each muffin tin cup. Top with a small spoonful of the ricotta mixture, followed by a small dollop of marinara sauce, and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
    5. Layer the Ingredients: Repeat the layering process (zucchini, ricotta mixture, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese) until the muffin cups are full, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
    6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.
    7. Cool and Serve: Let the lasagna bites cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!

    Variations & Tips

    For a meatier version, add in layers of browned ground beef or Italian sausage. You can also mix in some chopped spinach into the ricotta mixture for added greens. For a spicier kick, try adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce.

    Enjoy!

    These zucchini lasagna bites are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional lasagna, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
