Ingredients

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons raw honey
1 tablespoon salt
1/3 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil

Everything Else

3 zucchini (sliced thinly lengthwise)

Instructions

Blend together the ingredients for the marinara sauce, and boil together for at least 1 hour. The longer you boil, the thicker it gets.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whip up the eggs in a shallow bowl.
Fry the zucchini by dredging in egg (or the substitute) and then frying in oil, turning once. It's ready when golden brown.
Assemble your lasagna. First, spread about 1 cup marinara, followed by 1/3 of the zucchini, and then about 1 cup of cheese. Repeat until you have 3 full layers - we usually put an extra cup or so of cheese on top.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is slightly brown.

Notes

For Egg-Free option - Use 3 teaspoons Powdered Egg Replacer mixed with 4 tablespoons water; OR 2 tablespoons organic ground flaxseed mixed with 4 tablespoons warm water.
For Dairy-Free option - I am going to be working on some cheese you could use, but in the meantime, try this Vegan Mozzarella (from coconut and suitable for low carb), this one (from cashews - cashews have a higher carb count so be careful with this if you are on a low-carb diet), or this one from dairy-free yogurt (not suitable for very low-carb diets).
Homemade Chili Powder Option: My "Best" Basic Chili Powder is a great make-your-own option for chili powder.
Sweetener Alternatives: You could use xylitol, organic sucanat, or 1 scoop stevia for low carb - see How to Use Stevia.
Left Over Marinara: The Marinara Sauce in this recipe makes about 6-7 cups, but you only need 3 for the lasagna - save the rest for spaghetti!
THM Details: This is an "S" for those on the Trim Healthy Mama plan.
Keto / Low-carb: This recipe as is both a keto lasagna and a low-carb lasagna.
