Eggplant Rollups

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Grill the Eggplant

    Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil. Grill on a preheated grill or grill pan for about 3-4 minutes on each side until tender and slightly charred.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Rollups

    Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture at one end of each eggplant slice. Roll it up tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

  6. 6

    Add Marinara Sauce

    Pour marinara sauce over the assembled roll-ups in the baking dish.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
