Lighter Comfort-Food Classics Packed with Veggies
Kelp noodles instead of rice noodles? Eggplant as pizza crust? Layered-veggie lasagna? Sounds too healthy to be good -- but these recipes just are! Each one's a lightened-up comfort-food classic, full of veggies to boot. Plus, see how our healthy recipes compare with popular family-restaurant versions.
Hearty Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
A warm winter favourite is revamped with layers of roasted veggies, jarred roasted red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes. Roasting the vegetables before assembling deepens the flavours and produces a firmer lasagna. Use a mandoline to slice the vegetables thinly and evenly. If you're using a knife and end up with thicker slices, simply roast a little longer to achieve the same result.
Ready in 2 hours. Serves 6.
