Eggplant Rollatini Ingredients
Method
Eggplant Rollatini Directions
- 1
Prepare the Eggplant
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the eggplants lengthwise into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes or until they are soft and pliable.

Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, spinach, half of the mozzarella, half of the Parmesan, minced garlic, chopped basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Assemble the Rollatini
Once the eggplant slices are roasted, remove them from the oven. Spoon a generous amount of the ricotta filling onto one end of each eggplant slice. Roll the eggplant around the filling and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with all slices.
