If you think only traditional lasagna is a winning dish, it’s because you haven’t tried this vegan gluten-free lasagna yet. Creamy, comforting and full of flavor, this plant-based version proves that vegan cooking can be just as satisfying as the classic recipe. The combination of almond béchamel and cashew cooking cream from Ecomil gives this dish a smooth texture and a rich, balanced taste.
By using zucchini slices instead of pasta sheets, this lasagna becomes lighter and naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for many dietary needs.
Why make vegan lasagna at home?
Vegan gluten-free lasagna is a complete and nourishing dish, perfect for family meals or special occasions. Without dairy or animal products, it’s easier to digest and packed with vegetables and plant-based protein. Almond béchamel adds creaminess, while cashew cream enhances the filling with a velvety finish.
It’s also a very flexible recipe that can be adapted with seasonal vegetables.
Ingredients for vegan lasagna
- 1 large zucchini
- 5 mushrooms
- Vegan grated cheese
- 1/3 cup crushed tomato
- 100 g textured soy protein
- 1/2 pack Ecomil almond béchamel
- 1/2 pack Ecomil cashew cooking cream
- Salt, black pepper and oregano to taste
Step-by-step preparation
Start by hydrating the textured soy protein by boiling it for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Slice the zucchini lengthwise using a mandoline and lightly grill the slices. Reserve.
Chop the mushrooms into small cubes and optionally add pumpkin, carrot or sweet potato. Sauté the vegetables in a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Add the textured soy, cashew cooking cream and crushed tomato. Season with salt, pepper and oregano, mix well and cook for a couple of minutes over medium-low heat.
Assemble the lasagna by alternating layers of zucchini and filling. Cover with almond béchamel, top with vegan cheese and cook in the air fryer for 15 minutes at 165 °C until golden and hot.
The result is a vegan lasagna that is creamy, flavorful and impossible to resist.
