55 minutes

Keto lasagna with fried eggplant slices is an elegant interpretation of classic Italian lasagna adapted for a low-carb diet. Instead of traditional pasta sheets, golden-fried eggplants are used, giving the dish a tender texture and rich flavor with a hint of smokiness. The combination of juicy ground beef, spicy tomato sauce, and zesty sriracha creates a rich, balanced taste. Layers of melted mozzarella and cottage cheese add softness and creamy consistency, while the finishing touch of parmesan highlights the depth of aroma. The lasagna is perfect for family dinners or cozy evenings, offering a rich, hearty, and healthy dish without excess carbs. Serve hot to enjoy its juicy structure and harmony of flavors.
