Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the zucchini, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper on a large rimmed baking sheet with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer and roast for 20–25 minutes, until the edges are lightly charred and the vegetables are tender. Set aside.

While the vegetables roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente, tender with a slight resistance at the center. Drain, drizzle lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking, and lay flat on a clean surface.
