You’d never guess these Vegan Summer Vegetable Lasagna Rolls were vegan! Even BETTER than the original with a creamy and delicious dairy-free ricotta. Carnivore-friendly!

My name is Hummusapien and I like hummus more than freshly washed sheets and salted dark chocolate and mini weiner dogs and 90’s jams COMBINED.

Just kidding. That would be like, impossible. I mean hummus versus salted almond dark chocolate? Impossible in every sense of the word.

But in all seriousness, this blog is called Hummusapien for a reason.

I like hummus a weird amount.

I eat it on and in all the things.

And not just on the normal things like crisps and crackers and crudites, but also on abnormal things like my phalanges. My finger often is the spoon. Hummus often is the vehicle. So is the life of a Hummusapien.

If you’re a fan of my “What I Ate Wednesday” posts, you’ve likely seen Oasis roasted garlic hummus in one or more of the pictures. Whether it’s roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, or whole-grain crackers, my oh-so-frequent snacks nearly always involve hummus. More often than not, my hummus of choice is Oasis. I’ve been eating it for years now. Why, you ask? Because in my humble opinion, it’s one of the only store-bought hummuses on the market that…

a) tastes amazing.

b) has no preservatives.

c) is relatively low in fat and calories.

3) is made right here in O-H-I-O!

Now you all know I love my healthy fats. That said, the serving size of hummus is two tablespoons, AKA what I eat in one bite. When hummus is a food group, downing 80 calories and 6 grams of fat per “serving” isn’t easy on the waistline. I can (and often do) literally eat half the container in a sitting, so I appreciate that Oasis hummus is a bit on the lighter side. Have no fear…it’s still super creamy and flavorful! Oasis just uses more tahini and a bit of water rather than loads of oil.

I can get downnnn with dat!

Using hummus in lasagna isn’t anything new. One of my most popular recipes ever is my Easy Vegan Lasagna! It’s kind of sort of epic. One for the books. For some inexplicable reason, combining tofu with hummus and nutritional yeast makes a mock ricotta that tastes better than ricotta itself. I love roasted garlic hummus here!

PS–this recipe should work just fine without the veggies if you don’t have them on hand. Just don’t leave out the nutritional yeast! It’s really key for the “cheesy” flavor.

For all you Columbus folks, you should definitely use local Carfagna’s original gourmet pasta sauce for this recipe. I think it makes this dish. I swear I’m not paid to say that—I’m just obsessed with this sauce. If you’re a Costco shopper, I also adore the Kirkland organic marinara and also Rao’s sauce.

I’m SO pumped for you to fall head over heels in love with vegan lasagna that you’d never guess was cheese-less.

Ahhhh. Young love.

  2. I made and loved your tofu lasagna- and bonus my husband loved it too and he is picky about how he eats his tofu! Will definitely be trying out this roll version :)

  11. Obsessed with your hummus + tofu ricotta! I tried Whole Foods’ vegan lasagna rolls last night and was (surprisingly!) not impressed. Need to make this version!!

  12. I realize your recipes can be printed but I’d prefer to but a book. Do you have a cookbook available for purchase?

  14. Holy yum! I wonder if I could convince my lasagna-purist husband to try this? Or I could just do the cooking and be sneaky. I’m with you on the hummus love. Also, how did you manage to list all of my favorite things in your opening sentence?! Lol.

  15. Loved them! made them last night! My husband (a severe hummus addict!) wonders if 4 of them is a serving? Too late! Thanks for a simple amazing dish. My inner Garfield is purring!

  16. I realize now that this post is almost 2 years old BUT… really curious about your nutritionist take on tofu. It appears to be a staple because I’ve seen loads of recipes on your site that feature it, but I don’t have the attention span to go through the dozens of pages on your site that include references to tofu :) I used to eat it when I dabbled in vegetarianism in my teens and early 20s but was scared off it with the phytoestrogen/cancer chatter in recent years. I’m leaning more toward a veggie lifestyle in my early 30s but have been hesitant to incorporate tofu as an easy protein source. Have you done a post about the controversy around this food and who it may or may not be suitable for?

    • Hey! Check out nutrition facts.org – that’s where I got some more info on tofu and the current research behind it! :) good luck.

  17. This was absolutely delicious! My husband said it tasted like it came from an upscale restaurant!

  22. I can honestly say that this recipe was one of the best tasting meals I think I’ve ever had. My daughter’s dairy allergy introduced me to the new world of vegan eating and this is by far the best home cooked meal I have tried to date. I’ll be using hummusapien’s recipes a lot more in the future that’s for sure. All clean plates after this dinner!
