Why Is My Zucchini Lasagna Watery
If you find your zucchini lasagna is watery, you can use these tips for next time. Sometimes you will find zucchini can release a lot of water into your food. Here are some tips.
- Once you slice zucchini lay it out and sprinkle it with salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Then pat dry to remove the liquid.
- Do even slices of zucchini that are thinner. If you do thicker slices it will produce more water in one area as it bakes up.
