After you make this uncomplicated recipe for low carb eggplant rollatini with a few ingredients, you won’t go back.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a baking sheet in olive oil and set aside.
  2. Cut the eggplant lengthwise into twelve slices about ½″ thick.
  3. Generously sprinkle salt on both sides of eggplant and rub it in. Set in a colander to drain for 30 minutes.
  4. Place eggplant slices on oiled baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes until edges are golden brown and strips are flexible.
  5. While the eggplant is baking, make the tofu ricotta. In a large bowl, mash the tofu up with your hands, until it’s crumbly.
  6. Add the lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Mush with hands again until it resembles ricotta cheese consistency.
  7. Add the pesto and stir with a fork. Add the nutritional yeast and mix all ingredients well.
  8. When the eggplant slices are done, let them cool enough that you can handle them, about 10 minutes.
  9. Pour ½ cup of sauce into a 9×13 inch casserole dish and spread to cover the bottom. With the narrower end pointed towards you, place a leaf of spinach on the lower third of the eggplant slice. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of tofu ricotta on the spinach and then roll up.
  10. Place the rolled eggplant slices, seam side down, in the baking pan. When everything is rolled, pour another ½ cup or so of sauce over the rollatini. Bake for about 20 minutes.
  11. To serve, sprinkle a little Parmesan on top of each rollatini and enjoy.
