Directions

  1. Put unpeeled garlic cloves in a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until skins are brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat, when cool enough to handle, remove and discard peels.

  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  4. Paint the eggplant slices with a light coat of olive oil. Combine eggplant and half the tomato sauce in a lasagna pan. Season with dehydrated garlic, dried savory, salt, and pepper.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until eggplant is tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer eggplant to a bowl.

  6. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  7. Combine olives, 4 of the pan-roasted garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup parsley in a food processor. Blend well. Add chickpeas and white beans. Blend until smooth.

  8. Coat the bottom of the lasagna pan with 1/4 of the remaining tomato sauce. Layer 1/4 of the cooked lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the blended beans, and 1/3 of the cooked eggplant slices. Repeat 2 more times. Finish with a layer of lasagna noodles and the remaining tomato sauce.

  9. Chop the remaining 2 pan-roasted garlic cloves, sprinkle garlic granules and 1 tablespoon parsley on top of lasagna.

  10. Bake in the hot oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
