Easy Vegan Lasagna That Makes Comfort Food For The Whole Family Totally Hands Off
We took one of our most popular ready-to-eat meals and made it bigger, better, and even easier to enjoy.
Now available in a four-serving size, the Purple Carrot Vegan Family Bake Lasagna is fully prepped and delivered in an oven-safe tray that’s ready for hands-off baking. It’s great for family dinner or for having leftovers on hand the next day and the perfect way to round out your week of quick, comforting meals. And, at a more economical price per serving than our two-serving size, adding this one to your weekly order is a no-brainer.
Why you’ll love our Family Bake Lasagna
There’s a reason customers have been telling us the two-serving version of this dish is the best vegan lasagna out there, and is one of Purple Carrot’s top sellers week after week. It has all the familiar flavors of an indulgent meal with better-for-you ingredients and none of the labor-intensive steps that are typically required when making it from scratch.
- Rich, savory seitan chorizo-style bolognese
- Tender lasagna noodles layered throughout
- Creamy dairy-free cheese that melts beautifully
- Bright tomato sauce with spinach in every bite
- Crispy golden edges after baking
- Four generous servings for families or leftovers
It’s the kind of meal that feels indulgent enough for Sunday dinner but easy enough for a Tuesday night (or Wednesday work-from-home lunch, or Thursday leftovers).
Whether you’re feeding the whole family or simply planning meals for the week ahead, this lasagna delivers hearty, satisfying comfort food that’s entirely plant-based and dairy free without sacrificing any of the flavor.
What makes our vegan Family Bake Lasagna so easy?
The trays this lasagna is served in — as with all the trays for our ready-to-eat menu items that require heating — are specifically built for oven baking. The lasagna arrives fully assembled and bakes in just 25 minutes. That means no chopping, no blenders or food processors, no simmering sauce all day long, and maybe best of all, no dirty dishes. It’s just about the best way to get lasagna for the whole family on the table during a busy weeknight.
And if you want to keep all four servings for yourself, it’s perfect for meal prep. It’s safe to save overnight in the fridge and safe to eat as leftovers when reheated to 165 degrees Fahrenheit so you can have more to look forward to later in the week — and maybe even save yourself from spending another $20 on last-minute lunch.
Family Bake Lasagna nutrition facts

Family Bake Lasagna ingredients
Layered with dairy-free cheese and a seitan chorizo-based bolognese, this lasagna delivers big flavor and saves you the hassle of buying a ton of specialty ingredients.

The result is everything you love about classic lasagna — just made entirely from plants.
Key Ingredients

Family Bake Lasagna cooking instructions
One of the best things about this easy vegan lasagna recipe is how little work it requires.
While it can be heated in the microwave for near-instant cooking, we highly recommend baking it in the oven for the very best texture. Baking creates bubbling layers, crisp golden edges, and the kind of comforting finish you’d expect from a lasagna made from scratch.
Oven directions (recommended)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- Remove the outer packaging, as well as the film from the tray. Cover the tray with aluminum foil.
- Place the oven-safe tray directly into the oven (positioned in the center of the oven is optimal).
- Bake for 25 minutes until heated through and the cheese is bubbling.
- Tip: Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking for a crispier top and edges.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Microwave directions
- Remove the outer cardboard packaging and cut a 1-inch slit in the film to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Microwave on high for four minutes.
- Allow to cool for 2 minutes before removing the film and entirely.
- Enjoy!
Purple Carrot Family Bake Lasagna vs. lasagna from the frozen aisle
The frozen grocery aisle has plenty of lasagna options—but wandering the frozen aisle to find a plant-based, healthy option that’s truly delicious can be near impossible.
Unlike many frozen supermarket options, Purple Carrot focuses on high-quality plant-based ingredients and chef-crafted recipes that feel more like something you’d order from your favorite restaurant than something that’s been sitting in the grocery store freezer aisle for who knows how long.
And Purple Carrot gives you back all that time you’d otherwise spend making another grocery trip and reading ingredient labels to find what you’re looking for when searching for a store-bought vegan version. Add this one to your Purple Carrot order this week and it’ll arrive right at your door alongside the rest of your week’s meal plan – no grocery list required.
