Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
3
Spread a tablespoon of the ricotta cheese mixture onto each eggplant slice, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Roll the eggplant slices into tight cylinders and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining eggplant slices and ricotta cheese mixture.
4
Pour the tomato sauce over the eggplant rolls and sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
