I used to love eggplant rollatini as a kid. It is a very heavy and rich dish. Now, my stomach doesn't feel great after eating it. Because of this, I created a delicious and easy Light Eggplant Rollatini recipe. It is completely baked without any bread crumbs. I swapped the ricotta cheese for cottage cheese and I swear you can't tell the difference. This is one of my new favorite dinners. It's easy, healthy and so tasty!

Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small-medium sized eggplant
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup cottage cheese I used 1% Milkfat Low Fat Cottage Cheese Small Curd - No Salt Added
  • 1 egg
  • ΒΌ + β…› cup parmesan cheese
  • Β½ tbsp Italian herb mix
  • Β½ tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups homemade marinara sauce or your favorite jarred sauce
  • 1 Β½ tbsp fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp crumbled goat cheese

Instructions
 

  • Cut eggplant lengthwise into Β½ inch slices. Distribute the eggplant slices onto 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle Β½ tsp salt over each sheet pan and spray or drizzle 1 tsp olive oil over each.Β I like to bake them on separate sheet pans to ensure even cooking. Bake the eggplant slices at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.

  • As the eggplant is cooking, in a small bowl, mix together cottage cheese, ΒΌ cup parmesan cheese, an egg, Italian herb mix, garlic powder and Β½ tsp salt.

  • Remove the eggplant from the oven and stuff each slice with about 1 tbsp of the cottage cheese mixture and roll. If the eggplant slices are not easy enough to roll, cook them slighly more.

  • Grab an 8x8 oven safe baking dish. Add 1 cup of marinara sauce to the bottom. Place the eggplant roll-ups evenly on top.
