Description
These Keto Lasagna Roll Ups are a delicious low-carb twist on the classic Italian favorite, made with thin zucchini slices, savory ground beef, and layers of creamy cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium zucchinis, sliced thin lengthwise
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 cups sugar-free marinara sauce
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and garlic until browned. Drain excess fat, stir in 1/2 cup of marinara sauce, and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half the mozzarella, parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Spread a few spoonfuls of marinara sauce in the bottom of your greased baking dish.
- Lay zucchini slices flat. Spread a spoonful of cheese mixture and a bit of meat mixture on each, then roll up and place seam side down in the dish.
- Top the roll ups with remaining marinara and mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until bubbly. Broil for 1–2 minutes for a golden top.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin zucchini strips.
- Salt and blot zucchini slices to prevent sogginess.
- Customize with different meats or vegetables if desired.
- Perfect for meal prep and leftovers.
