Here I used zucchini instead of lasagna sheets to make lasagna and make this dish more healthy. Gluten free yummy vegetarian lasagna.

- 1 tbsp chopped garlic
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper powder
- 1 tsp chilly flakes
- 1 tbsp olive oil.

For lasagna:
- 2 zucchini vertically sliced.
Method:
For sauce:
- Spray little olive oil on both the bell peppers and broil it in the oven until skin gets dark and it cooked well.
- Let it cool down. Remove the skin and chop it.
- In a pan take olive oil and add chopped onion and garlic.
- Let it cook until onion cooks well. Then add chopped bell peppers and tomatoes.
- Add all the seasonings.
- Add tomato purée and fresh basil and parsley.
- Let it cook for 4-5 mins.
For stuffing:
- In a pan heat olive oil.
- Add chopped garlic and saute for few seconds.
- Add all chopped vegetables and corn and cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
- Add salt, pepper, chilly flakes and Italian seasoning and mix it well.
- Transfer it in a bowl and let it cool down.
For lasagna:
- First slice zucchini vertically as shown in the picture.
- Sprinkle some salt and pepper and microwave it for a minute. So it will soften little bit and easy to roll it.
- Now take a piece of plastic wrap and put it on the cutting board or plate.
- Put zucchini slices (around 8 ) overlapping each other.
- Put vegetable stuffing on it.
- Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning on it.
- Now roll it slowly using the plastic wrap. (Just like we roll sushi)
- Make all the rolls out of zucchini like this.
- Now in baking tray layer some sauce at the bottom.
- Put zucchini rolls on it.
- You can add some more sauce and cheese on top. (I didn’t do it)
- Cover it and bake it at 400° F for 15-20 mins. Serve it hot.
