Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Lasagna
Ingredients
- 3 medium - cooked sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced into rounds about 1/2
- 1 9 oz pkg - no-boil whole-grain lasagna noodles
- 2 15 oz cans - diced tomatoes
- 1 14 oz pkg - tofu, water-packed, firm or extra-firm, drained and patted dry
- 1/4 cup - mellow white miso
- 1 tsp - ground sage
- 1 tsp - dried oregano
Instructions
- Soak the lasagna noodles in water while you are preparing your other ingredients.
- Mix together the tofu and miso with a fork, until well combined. Set aside.
- Spread half of one can of the diced tomatoes in the bottom of a slow-cooker. Cover with one-fourth of the lasagna noodles, breaking as needed to fit.
- Lay half of the sliced sweet potatoes on top of the noodles. Sprinkle with half of the dried sage, then place another layer of the noodles on top.
- Spread the tofu mixture on top of the noodles. Spread another half-can of diced tomatoes over top. Place another layer of the noodles on top.

- Cover and cook on High for 3-4 hours or on Low for 7-9 hours.
Tips
You can make this in a standard lasagna pan rather than the slow cooker if you like. Just cover the lasagna in the pan with parchment paper, then aluminum foil, and bake at 375 °F for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and parchment, then bake another 25 minutes.
