Mexican Vegetable Lasagna

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.


Prepare veggies for roasting by seasoning with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Roast for 15-20 minutes until caramelized, tender and tomatoes begin to burst.


Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.


Prepare avocado sauce by pureeing all of the ingredients until smooth.


To build lasagna, slather a 1/2 cup of avocado sauce on the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish and begin layering with 3 oven ready lasagna sheets, followed by more sauce, a smattering of assorted roasted veggies, and 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat, building two more layers, finishing with extra sauce and cheese.


Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-12 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool slightly before slicing.


Top with parsley and parmesan cheese.
