Repeat until everything is used. 6️⃣ Top with shredded mozzarella. 🧀 7️⃣ Bake uncovered at 400°F for 30 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and golden on top. 🔥 8️⃣ Let it rest for a few minutes, slice into 8 pieces, and enjoy! 😍 💡 TIP: Cabbage releases quite a bit of liquid while baking! I like using a turkey baster to remove the excess liquid from the baking dish after it comes out of the oven. This helps keep your lasagna from getting watery. 🙌 📊 ESTIMATED MACROS — 1 of 8 slices: 🔥 ~310 calories 💪 ~24g protein 🥑 ~15g fat 🍅 ~11g carbs 🌾 ~2–3g fiber ➡️ ~8–9g net carbs Save this one for your next comfort-food craving! 💚 #CabbageLasagna #LowCarbRecipes #DiabeticFriendlyRecipes #HighProteinRecipes #HealthyComfortFood
