This low carb eggplant parm lasagna casserole combines the tastes of two popular dishes. It makes a very delicious and filling meal.
This is an easy Italian style casserole that tastes like a cross between eggplant parmesan and lasagna. I used hot Italian sausage and sliced it up after it was cooked.
You can use either bulk or link sausage in mild or hot. I thought the spicy sausage gave this low carb eggplant parm lasagna casserole a nice flavor. My eggplant was just picked fresh out of the garden.
If the eggplant is store bought, you may want to salt it and let it sit in a colander to remove any bitterness. And, you can remove the skin if desired.
I’ve been finding all sorts of delicious ways to cook up eggplant. A few of my favorites, including this low carb eggplant parm lasagna casserole, are in this recipe collection.
Eggplant Parmesan Casserole is another great dish that can easily be made low carb using a pork rind based breading. What’s your favorite way to cook eggplant?
