Ingredients
Bechamel Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons vegan butter
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 5 Tablespoons flour I used half spelt half bread flour
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1/2 Sweet Potato or yam sliced raw or roasted. I used roasted
- Thinly sliced Cauliflower florets raw or lightly blanched. I used raw
- breadcrumbs or cheese
- 8-10 lasagna sheets no-boil
- dried parsley and thyme
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs or vegan parmesan or coarse ground cashew/almond mixed with nutritional yeast
Instructions
Bechamel sauce
- In a medium pan, melt the butter/oil on medium. Add the flour and whisk to form a roux or thick paste. Cook 1-2 minutes until it is just about to change color.
- Add almond milk, whisk as you add, making sure there are no lumps. Add the nutmeg, black pepper and salt to taste.
- Remove from heat after the sauce has thickened into a smooth gravy-like velvety texture. (Use 1.5 cups almond milk for thicker sauce. I used 2 cups as the sauce will thicken further during baking)
Lasagna
- Layer some bechamel, top with Lasagna sheets. Top with thin slices of cauliflower. Sprinkle a little salt, (sprinkle chili flakes and garlic powder.Optional)
- Drizzle some more bechamel sauce. Layer Lasagna sheets. Top the sheets with cooked Sweet potato slices(or thin raw slices). Sprinkle some dried thyme or parsley.
- Drizzle a little bechamel (or marinara). Top with Lasagna sheets.
- Spread the rest of the bechamel. Top with Bread crumbs mixed with dried herbs of choice, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper, or Cheese(vegan mozzarella shreds or parmesan or ground cashew/almond +nutritional yeast). Cover the pan with aluminium foil.
- Bake in preheated 360 degrees F / 180ºc for 50 minutes to an hour. Take itout of the oven. Remove foil. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Variations:You can add 1-2 layers of Marinara or Bolgonese sauce, some non dairy cheese(mozzarella or herbed Tofu Ricotta) and lasagna sheets.
