Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium aubergines (eggplants), sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Slice aubergines lengthwise into half-inch thick strips. Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Roast the aubergine slices in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until soft but firm enough to roll.
- In a bowl, mix ricotta, half of the mozzarella, garlic, Parmesan, basil, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Take an aubergine slice and place about two tablespoons of filling at one end; roll tightly. Repeat until all slices are filled.
- Arrange the rolls seam-side down in the baking dish, cover with marinara sauce, and sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
