    Preparation Steps

    1

    Slice the eggplant, lightly salt the slices, and let them sit for 10 minutes. After that, pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

    2

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sauté the eggplant slices on both sides until golden brown.

    3

    Finely chop the onion and garlic, then sauté them in olive oil until softened. Add the tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    4

    Thinly slice the cooked beetroot, and prepare the vegan bechamel sauce. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce for a richer flavor.

    5

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), and grease a baking dish with olive oil.

    6

    Layer the moussaka: Place a portion of the eggplant slices on the bottom of the dish, then add a layer of tomato sauce, beetroot, and continue layering until all the ingredients are used up.

    7

    Pour the vegan bechamel sauce over the top, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a golden brown crust forms.

    8

    Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy immediately!
