Delicious Sweet Potato Lasagna Recipe for a Hearty Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup spinach (fresh or cooked)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese (grated, for topping)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, spinach, beaten egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

    Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Layer the Ingredients

    In a baking dish, spread a layer of marinara sauce, followed by a layer of sweet potato slices, and then the ricotta mixture.

    Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with sweet potatoes.
  4. Top with Cheese

    Spread the remaining marinara sauce on top and sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

    Cover with foil to prevent burning while baking.
  5. Bake the Lasagna

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, removing the foil for the last 15 minutes to brown the cheese.

    Check for doneness by ensuring the sweet potatoes are tender.
  6. Cool and Serve

    Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

    This helps the layers set for easier serving.
