- For the béchamel sauce, heat the coconut oil and add flour. Stir well and as you continue, slowly add a quarter of the soy milk. Keep stirring until it starts to thicken. Repeat the process two more times. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and then set aside.
- For the vegetables, heat up a pan with oil and add garlic. When it turns brown, add the zucchini and eggplant. Season with salt and pepper.
- Layer the lasagna on a 30 cm x 18 cm pan. Heat up your béchamel sauce again to make sure it’s not too thick. Add some water and soy milk to make it creamy.
- Put the first layer of lasagna sheets, then add tomato sauce. Put some lasagna sheets again, then a layer of béchamel sauce. A layer of sweet potato goes next, then lasagna sheets, followed by béchamel sauce and tomato sauce.
- To make the vegan cheese, heat the cashew butter and soy milk then stir. Add nutritional yeast, salt and oregano and keep stirring until it thickens.
- Spread cheese over your lasagna and bake for about 30-35 mins. Keep an eye on it after 20mins to avoid overcooking. Garnish with chopped herbs and nuts. Serve and enjoy a fabulous meal!
