Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Eggplant
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the eggplants lengthwise into thin strips. Brush both sides of the strips with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until tender.

Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, fresh basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Assemble the Rollatini
Once the eggplant strips are cool enough to handle, take one strip and place a generous spoonful of the ricotta filling at one end. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining eggplant strips and filling.

Add Sauce and Cheese
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the rolled eggplants in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
