Instant Pot Zucchini Lasagna Recipe

This Keto Zucchini Lasagna Recipe is so good you won't even be able to tell that it's low carb or gluten free! And thanks to your Instant Pot, it's easy to make as well.

Keto Zucchini Lasagna Recipe

I use my Instant Pot a lot. So much so, in fact, that I've found ways to convert my favorite recipes into Instant Pot recipes. I also like to turn some of my favorite recipes into Keto-friendly meals because that's how my husband and I maintain our weight loss.

This Keto Zucchini Lasagna Recipe was an absolute hit in my house, and I can't think of a better cooking method for it than my Instant Pot.

We didn't miss the noodles in this recipe at all, and it was very filling. The flavors are fantastic, the texture was great, and it's loaded with cheesy goodness like every good lasagna should be. Not to mention lasagna is all very easy and simple when you don't have to cook and layer noodles.

I use a springform pan to make this dish, like I do a lot of recipes in my Instant Pot, and it works really well for this Zucchini Lasagna. It not only holds everything together well, but makes it really easy to cut and serve to my guests as well.

You will also need a tall trivet or steamer rack for this.

Why Zucchini?

Zucchini is a naturally low-carb food. In addition to that, when you use a mandolin slicer to slice the zucchini into long thin slices, it masks itself as noodles (maybe even enough to get your kids to eat some). It also absorbs the flavors around it easily and cooks quickly too. So, why not zucchini?

Even if your guests aren't eating a low-carb diet, they'd still enjoy this Zucchini Lasagna Recipe. Vegetables in lasagna is no new thing, and you hardly miss the pasta in this dish with all the cheese and lovely sausage.

Tips and Tricks for Making Instant Pot Keto Lasagna

• Use a metal springform pan. If you use glass, you will have to adjust the timing on this.
• Wrap the bottom of the springform pan in foil if yours leaks. I have linked to this springform pan, but honestly, I have had several of these, some of which have leaked and others haven't. So if your pan leaks, add a sheet of foil at the bottom. You will then also need to increase cook time by 5 minutes or so since the foil will retard heat transfer.
• You can either create a sling made from foil that will help you lift out the lasagna afterward or you can use silicone mitts.
• I prefer silicone mitts as the regular cloth ones take on the steam from the pressure cooker as you open it, get damp, and then get hot very quickly. The silicone mitts are also easy to throw into the dishwasher for cleaning.
• You can choose to broil the top of your lasagna afterward. If you have a Ninja Foodi this is very easy.
• You can also do the same thing with a Mealthy Crisp Lid to brown the top of the lasagna.
• Due to the moist environment in a Pressure Cooker, you will likely have some condensation on the top of your lasagna. You can either ignore this because after all--deliciousness--or you could cover it with foil to keep the moisture off. By now you know what I'm going to say--if you cover with foil, add a few minutes of cook time!
• You could also just dab this moisture off with a paper towel before broiling.
• Notice I do NOT ask you to precook the meat. Pressure cooking will cook that meat for you, and here once again, is #ruthlessefficiency at work.
