This sweet potato lasagna recipe is considered one of the healthier lasagna recipes out there. It is also gluten free, so those who are gluten intolerant or sensitive can eat this without fear. As far as meal prep goes, it is one of the easier ones but peeling and slicing the sweet potatoes can be a big tedious. You can make it less tedious by slicing the sweet potatoes lengthwise on a mandolin. You can use a salt free marinara sauce, and a drizzle of olive oil (although I omitted the olive oil this time), and just alternate layers of the different ingredients.

 

If you were looking for vegan recipes, if you use veggie crumbles and take out the egg white, and use vegan cheese, it will match your diet requirements too, so don’t feel as though you wouldn’t be able to touch this recipe if you are vegan or vegetarian. Add some sprigs of fresh basil or baby spinach for some green roughage. This sweet potato lasagna recipe also freezes and reheats well, so you can make a big batch and portion it out for weeknight meals and grab and go lunches. Or you can easily assemble it in small single portion containers and cook them in it then freeze. Just heat and serve and you have an easy and filling meal that doesn’t break your back or your bank. You can thaw it out first or pop directly into the oven, depending on how much time you have on your hands.
