Ingredients & Substitutions
Here I explain the best ingredients for my zucchini lasagna recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card.
How To Make Zucchini Lasagna
I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card. For a meatless zucchini lasagna, you can swap out the ground beef for a mix of sautéed diced onions, sliced mushrooms, and drained frozen spinach. You can also just skip the meat layer and make my zucchini parmesan. Or keep the meat but just sauté these veggies first, then cook the beef.
Storage & Meal Prep
Store: Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. It will last the longest if you place it in an airtight container, but when I have a lot left, I just cover the baking dish with foil. Meal prep: Get ahead by roasting the zucchini noodles, making the meat sauce, and/or mixing up the ricotta cheese layer in advance. You can also assemble the whole dish and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze it before baking. While you’re prepping, you might as well slice some extra zucchini sheets to use for my zucchini salad, too! Reheat: Reheat the zucchini lasagna in the oven at 350 degrees F, or pop individual portions in the microwave. Freeze: You can freeze this dish before or after baking. Just wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. No need to thaw before reheating, but it’ll warm much up faster if you thaw in the fridge overnight.

Tools I Use For This Recipe
Mandoline – This is my go-to for getting those thin, uniform zucchini slices. It makes the job so much easier and quicker. XL Sheet Pan – It’s big enough to fit all the zucchini in a single layer, plus it’s durable and I love the coating. Cast Iron Braiser – Mine is large with tall sides, so nothing spills over. Plus, it’s gorgeous and perfect for serving other dishes, too. Casserole Dish – My favorite for most of my casseroles. It’s not only durable but really pretty, making it perfect for serving right at the table.
