Instructions
- To prepare the eggplants, start by slicing off the ends and then cut them lengthways into slices about ΒΌ inch thick.
- Put the slices in a colander or on a plate and sprinkle salt to remove bitterness. Allow them to sit for 30 minutes.
- Rinse the eggplants with water and dry them before setting them aside.
Coating:
- In a shallow dish, put the beaten eggs, and in another shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan, oregano, and basil.
- Dip the eggplant slices into the beaten eggs, then coat them well with the dry mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cook the Eggplant Slices: There are three ways to cook the eggplant slices: shallow frying, baking, or air frying.
- For air frying, lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil and place the eggplant slices in a single layer. Gently spread the slices with oil and cook for 5-7 minutes at 200C/400F degrees, making sure to cook them in batches if necessary.
- Heat 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat for shallow frying. Cook the eggplant slices on each side for 3-5 minutes until they turn golden brown.
- For baking, place the eggplant slices on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes at 200C/400F degrees.
- Combine spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, basil, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Mix all the ingredients well.
Assemble:
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees to assemble the dish.
- Spread the filling mixture over each eggplant slice and roll them up. Spoon ΒΌ cup of marinara sauce over the base of a large baking dish, and then place the rolled-up eggplants on top of the sauce.
- Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the eggplants and sprinkle them with mozzarella cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- After that, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
- Once the dish is cooked, serve it with torn fresh basil. Enjoy!
