Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggplants sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch thick slices
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 cup spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the eggplant slices with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the slices with olive oil. Grill the eggplant slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until tender and grill marks appear.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, basil, garlic, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Mix well.
  • Lay the grilled eggplant slices flat on a working surface. Place a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture on one end of each slice. Roll up the slices tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
  • Arrange the rolls on a serving platter. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Tip:

  • Enhance the fl avor by adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the rolls before serving. If you don’t have a grill, you can broil the eggplant slices in the oven until tender.
