Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan French Onion Lasagna
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegan butter or olive oil over medium-low heat. Add 3 sliced sweet onions and cook for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and soft. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of agave syrup towards the end.
- While the onions caramelize, drain 1 block (15 oz) of extra firm tofu, place in a blender. Add 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 2–3 tablespoons of non-dairy milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- In another skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of vegan butter over medium heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to create a roux. Gradually add 2.5 cups of non-dairy milk while whisking continuously for 2–4 minutes until thickened. Stir in 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a layer of béchamel sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Layer lasagna sheets, followed by ricotta, caramelized onions, and vegan mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with lasagna sheets topped with remaining béchamel and mozzarella.
- Bake the assembled lasagna for 25–30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes
Consider assembling the lasagna a day before for best flavor melding. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 2 months.
