Ingredients
Method
Prep the Eggplants
- Slice eggplants lengthwise into thin strips and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Rinse the eggplant slices under cold water to remove the salt and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Get Your Filling Ready
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
- In a bowl, combine sautéed spinach, ricotta cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well-blended.
Assemble the Roll-Ups
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Spoon some filling onto one end of each eggplant slice and roll them up seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Pour marinara sauce over the roll-ups and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Bake to Perfection
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve and Enjoy
- Let the roll-ups sit for a few minutes before serving hot, optionally with extra Parmesan.
Notes
Great alternatives include zucchini or bell peppers as substitutes for eggplant. You can prep these roll-ups ahead of time and bake them when ready.
