How do you keep zucchini lasagna from being watery?

How To Make Zucchini Lasagna Less Watery

  1. Slice your zucchini into thinner slices: thinner slices mean less zucchini, thus less water.
  2. Salt your zucchini and let it sit for 15 minutes: salt draws the water out of the zucchini.
  3. Grill it to reduce the moisture: grill the zucchini for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Use more, and the zucchini will simply taste like zucchini-flavored salt. If you try to rinse out the extra salt, you risk adding back in the water you just tried to get rid of.

Do you soak lasagna sheets in hot or cold water?
