Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.
Slice the zucchini and eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips. Dice the mushrooms and mince the garlic. Set all the vegetables aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mushrooms, zucchini, and eggplant and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese until well combined. Set the cheese mixture aside.
Spread 1 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer 4 sheets of gluten-free lasagna noodles on top of the sauce.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles, then add a layer of sautéed vegetables, followed by 1 cup of spinach. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layering process (marinara sauce, noodles, ricotta mixture, vegetables, spinach, and mozzarella) two more times, finishing with a top layer of marinara sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your gluten-free veggie lasagna!
