Process

Cook Mode

Slice the eggplant and lay the slices on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 15-20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Cook the eggplant slices for 2-3 minutes per side until softened and lightly browned. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine vegan ricotta, flax egg, basil, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and shredded vegan Parmesan. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spread a thin layer of Sturdy Marinara Sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Place a dollop of filling on each eggplant slice, roll it up, and place seam-side down in the dish.
Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the rolls, making sure they’re fully coated. Top with shredded vegan mozzarella.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot. Pair with a crisp green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
