Zucchini Lattice Lasagna Recipe

Zucchini Lattice Lasagna Is Our Dream Low-Carb Dinner

Sure, classic lasagna is delicious. Sometimes, though, we crave something a tad less carb-heavy. This zucchini lattice lasagna is the perfect way to lighten up the classic dish for summer. Pro tip: Zucchini releases a good amount of water, so we like to dab it with a paper towel when the lasagna is done cooking, and then broil until the cheese is bubbly and crispy.
