"Is there anything better than coming home to a big piece of warm, cheesy lasagne after a long day? It's the ultimate comfort food, especially when the weather gets colder and the days get even shorter. And with a simple swap, you can give lasagne a slight nutrition boost and add a subtly sweet flavor, making it an even more appealing addition to your meal-prep list. All you need to do is replace the pasta sheets with a fan-favorite veggie: sweet potatoes."
"The sweet potatoes pair with a creamy béchamel sauce perfectly, and they still hold just a tiny bit of bite to complete the texture of your lasagne. They also lend a lovely sweetness to the dish, which complements a heavy meat sauce, and they're packed with healthy vitamins and minerals. They're gluten-free too - which is an added bonus for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity."
Sweet potatoes sliced into paper-thin sheets can substitute for pasta in lasagne, softening and caramelizing when baked to produce a tender, noodle-like texture. The natural sweetness balances heavy meat sauces and pairs well with creamy béchamel, while adding vitamins and offering a gluten-free option. Use a mandolin for uniform slices; if slicing thicker by hand, increase baking time. Expect an overall bake time around 35 to 50 minutes depending on ingredients and oven. Parboiling slices briefly can speed assembly baking. Blend ricotta with firmer cheeses like feta or shredded mozzarella to improve filling texture.
