🥄 INGREDIENTS:

For the Eggplant:

3 large eggplants, sliced lengthwise (¼ inch thick)
Salt (to draw out moisture)
Olive oil spray (for roasting)

For the Filling:

1½ cups ricotta cheese (whole or part-skim)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
Salt & pepper to taste

For the Sauce:
2 cups marinara sauce (homemade or your favorite store-bought)
1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

Optional: red pepper flakes for a kick

For Topping:

½ cup mozzarella cheese (extra for baking)
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil for garnish

🍽️ DIRECTIONS:

Prepare the Eggplant:
Slice eggplants lengthwise. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 20–30 minutes to release bitterness. Pat dry. Lightly oil and roast or grill slices until soft and flexible (about 10–12 minutes at 400°F).

Make the Filling:
In a bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper.

Assemble the Rollatini:
Spoon a bit of filling onto each eggplant slice and roll tightly. Pour some marinara into the bottom of a baking dish. Place rolls seam-side down. Top with more sauce and cheese.

Bake:
Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Garnish & Serve:
Let cool slightly. Top with fresh basil. Serve with a crisp salad or garlic bread!

💡 Tips for Success:

Want to make it even healthier? Use low-fat ricotta and reduce mozzarella.

Vegan version? Swap out cheeses for cashew-based ricotta and vegan mozzarella.

🧘‍♀️ Why I Love This Recipe:
As a certified health & life coach, I believe in food that nourishes both body and soul. This dish is a great example of how you don’t have to sacrifice flavor to eat well. It’s satisfying, high in protein, low in refined carbs, and packed with antioxidants from the eggplant and tomato sauce.
