Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Layer 1/2 of the zucchini in the bottom of the prepared pan, followed by 1/2 of the onion, 1/2 of the tomatoes, and all of the mushrooms. Sprinkle garlic powder over top, followed by 1/2 of the vegan cheese. Add remaining onions in a layer and spread all lentils over top. Finish layers with remaining zucchini, tomatoes, and cheese. (20 minutes)

03

Step

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until veggies are tender and cheese is melted or crisp, depending on what type you use, 30 to 40 minutes. (30-40 minutes)

04

Step

Let stand for about 15 minutes before serving. (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, sauté the onions and mushrooms before layering them in the casserole.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or eggplant.
A sprinkle of nutritional yeast can add a cheesy flavor boost.
To make it gluten-free, ensure your vegan cheese is gluten-free.
