Ingredients:

  • 2 eggplants
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 5.3 oz (150g) light cheese, grated (such as low-fat mozzarella)
  • A handful of mixed bell peppers, diced
  • 4 turns of extra virgin olive oil
  • 5.3 oz (150g) crushed tomatoes
  • Chopped parsley to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to make Eggplant Roll-Up:

  1. Trim the ends of the eggplants and slice them lengthwise into 1cm (0.4 inch) thick slices. Set aside.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with about 1 oz (30g) of grated cheese. Arrange the eggplant slices on the sheet, slightly overlapping to avoid gaps. If you have extra eggplant slices, cube them for the filling.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 2 turns of olive oil with salt and pepper. Brush this mixture over the eggplant slices. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30 minutes.
  4. In a non-stick pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil. Add chopped onion, cubed eggplant (if any), and diced peppers. Cover and cook for a few minutes.
  5. Add tomato passata (crushed tomatoes), salt, and pepper. Stir, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, mix well, and remove from heat.
  6. Spread the tomato and pepper mixture over the baked eggplant slices. Top with about 2.8 oz (80g) of grated cheese.
  7. Roll up the eggplant slices using the parchment paper to help. Top with the remaining cheese (about 1.4 oz or 40g).
  8. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5 minutes. Let it settle for a moment before serving.
