Other keto lasagna noodles

If you're looking for other keto lasagna noodles besides Palmini noodles, here are a few options:

• 8 Soft And Flexible Keto Tortillas cut into strips. Be sure to make them as thin as possible. If they are too thick, they will be too bready and not taste like noodles. Or use store-bought keto tortillas or wraps. Just be sure they aren't too thick.
• Egg White Wrap, such as Egglife.
• Zucchini Lasagna Noodles (directions below 👇)
• Thinly sliced turkey or ham deli meat (I have not tried this, but I've heard good things about it!)

If using zucchini lasagna noodles, here are the easy steps:

• Slicing the zucchini: Slice the ends off of the zucchini. Holding the zucchini upright (vertically, standing on a sliced end), use a sharp knife to slice down, creating ¼-inch slices. Try to make the slices as uniform as possible.
• To prevent a watery, low-carb lasagna, you'll need to get out the excess moisture. To do this, place the zucchini slices on paper-towel-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with sea salt and allow to "sweat" in a 200-degree oven for 15 - 30 minutes. Then, blot both sides to remove the excess moisture.

Substitutions

• Dairy-Free Paleo Lasagna: Sub the ricotta and parmesan cheese with my dairy-free almond milk ricotta recipe and dairy-free parmesan cheese substitute. While you can substitute the mozzarella cheese with a non-dairy variety, this is optional. If you use non-dairy cheese, I recommend the SO Delicious brand - it's my favorite!
• Substitute the ricotta for cottage cheese if you prefer.
• Replace the beef with ground chicken or turkey.

Storage and make-ahead

• Store: Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
• Make-Ahead: Fully assemble the palmini lasagna and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.
• Freeze: It can be frozen fully assembled and unbaked (preferred) or after it's been baked for up to three months. To do this, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, getting as close to the lasagna as possible to keep air out, and then with foil. If it's been baked, wrap it in individual servings first.
• Reheat Frozen Lasagna: Start by letting it thaw in the fridge overnight. Then, set it on the counter while the oven preheats to 375 degrees. Bake, covered with new foil, for 60 to 70 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 10 minutes so the top browns.
