Ingredients

Servings

• 2 medium Eggplants
• 2 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 cup Spinach
• 1 cup Vegan ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Vegan mozzarella cheese
• ¹⁄₄ chopped Fresh basil leaves
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the eggplants lengthwise into thin strips.
2. Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until they are soft and pliable.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
4. In a bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, vegan ricotta cheese, vegan mozzarella cheese, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
5. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take an eggplant slice and spoon some of the filling onto one end. Roll up the eggplant slice and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining slices and filling.
6. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the rolled eggplants. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Let the rollatini rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
