I’m glad I learned this recipe from her. This vegetarian moussaka recipe is low calorie, low fat and 100% tasty! Also, the prep part is really quick so you won’t spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

The original recipe contains eggs but it can easily be veganized if you use egg substitutes. I actually tried it with psyllium husks instead of eggs and it was perfect! You should try this vegetarian zucchini recipe!
