- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the eggplants lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices. Lightly sprinkle with salt and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
Pat the eggplant slices dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of the slices with olive oil and arrange in a single layer on baking sheets.
Roast the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until soft and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool.
In a medium bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, garlic, black pepper, and chopped basil.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a
baking dish.
Place a spoonful of the ricotta mixture at the end of each eggplant slice and roll up tightly. Place rollatini seam side down in the
baking dish.
Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the rollatini and sprinkle with the remaining shredded mozzarella and Italian seasoning.
Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
