Healthy Recipes

Keto Lasagna Roll-Ups – Cheesy low carb lasagna roll-ups are made with fresh zucchini “noodles” for a delicious meal that’s healthy and still incredibly satisfying.

The keto diet has become very popular recently for its focus on “good” fats, while avoiding carbohydrates. But just because you’re on a low carb diet, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on your favorite pasta dishes. Cheeses are welcome in the keto world, and zesty tomato sauce is a great way to get in those extra veggies. All you need to do is nix the gluten-heavy pastas!

This cozy Keto Lasagna Roll-Ups recipe uses thinly sliced zucchini instead of traditional lasagna noodles to seriously reduce carbs. It’s fun to make and so satisfying.

The best lasagnas always include layers of tender pasta, perfectly melted cheeses, and tangy tomato sauce. These simple elements combine to create savory, cheesy, utterly satisfying comfort food.

Each bite is still balanced with the “pasta” texture and gooey cheesy goodness you know and love. Here you have a hearty vegetarian dish that will make even picky eaters happy!

How to Make Low Carb Zucchini Lasagna

This delicious Keto Lasagna dish takes under an hour to make, start to finish. It’s terrific for a warm, comforting Sunday dinner – and leftovers are great to enjoy the next day for an easy weekday lunch!

Here’s how to make fun-tastic Low Carb Zucchini Lasagna Rolls Ups:

First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and set out a 9X13 inch baking dish. Pour the marinara tomato sauce in the baking dish, and spread out evenly.

Use a mandolin slicer (or vegetable peeler) to slice the zucchini into long paper-thin strips.

Pro Tip: Generously sprinkle the zucchini strips with salt to help release the moisture. You definitely don’t want to skip this step… If you don’t salt before cooking, the zucchini will be watery!

While the zucchini strips rest with the salt, make the keto lasagna cheese mixture: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the ricotta, cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper.

Then, working one piece at a time, make the lasagna:

Lay a zucchini strip on a paper towel. Press the zucchini strip with the towel to remove excess moisture.
Place about 2 teaspoons of cheese filling on the end of the strip and roll the zucchini strip around the cheese.
Set the roll in the baking dish, with the cheese facing up.

Repeat until the pan is packed with zucchini lasagna roll ups, like in the photo below. Gently push the rolls up against one another to help keep them sealed shut.

Is Zucchini Lasagna a Good Make-Ahead Meal?

It is! You can prepare this dish several hours and even up to a full day ahead of serving, keep covered with plastic wrap, and then bake in the evening. Again, you definitely do not want to skip salting the zucchini noodles beforehand.

Leftovers of Low Carb Keto Lasagna will keep well in an airtight container stored in the fridge for up to 5 days if you use a marinara sauce; or up to 3 days if you use a meat sauce.

You can even freeze baked Zucchini Lasagna in a freezer-safe storage bag for up to 3 months!
