Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
1 ½ large zucchinis, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 ½ cups low-carb marinara sauce
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 egg
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Pat dry zucchini slices with a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture.
  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef; cook until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add marinara sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, and pepper; simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Combine remaining 1 teaspoon salt, ricotta cheese, egg, and nutmeg in a bowl; mix well.
  • Make 1 layer of zucchini slices in the prepared baking dish. Cover with 1/2 of the sauce. Add another layer of zucchini slices. Spread ricotta mixture on top. Sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Add another layer of zucchini slices; cover with the remaining sauce and top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and bake until top is golden, about 15 minutes more.
