My Favorite Way to Make Eggplant Rollatini

Video Description

We make this eggplant rollatini all year, but especially in the summer! It's one of my favorite eggplant recipes. In Italy, it's called Involtini di Melanzane, which is made of thinly sliced eggplant rolled up with an herbaceous ricotta filling and baked with more cheese and sauce. Rather than frying the eggplant and dredging it in flour like most Italian restaurants serve rollatini, we're baking the eggplant instead with no flour needed. The results are lighter and a little healthier, but they taste just as delicious as the classic version!
