Instructions

♡

1.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2.

Slice the eggplants lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. You should get about 10-12 slices per eggplant.

3.

Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

4.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the eggplant slices in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until softened and slightly browned. Set aside on a plate.

5.

In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

6.

Spread about 1/4 cup of the ricotta cheese mixture evenly over each eggplant slice.

7.

Roll up each eggplant slice and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Make sure the dish is lightly greased or sprayed with cooking spray.

8.

Pour the low carb marinara sauce over the eggplant roll ups.

9.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

10.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the sauce is heated through.

11.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

✻

1.

To reduce bitterness, you can salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for 30 minutes before cooking. Rinse and pat dry before using.

2.

You can add other vegetables to the filling, such as spinach or zucchini.

3.

For a meatier version, add cooked ground beef or sausage to the ricotta cheese mixture.
