Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Sprinkle kosher salt over eggplant slices. Let excess moisture drain from eggplant, 10 to 15 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels and transfer to baking sheet.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with black pepper.
Step 4
Combine spinach, onion, and garlic in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until spinach is wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with Italian seasoning.
Step 5
Mix Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and ricotta cheese together in a bowl. Stir in spinach mixture until well-combined.
Step 6
Spread 2 spoonfuls of spinach mixture evenly over each eggplant slice. Roll up eggplant.
Step 7
Spread 1/4 cup marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange eggplant rolls seam-side down in the dish. Pour remaining marinara sauce over rolls. Cover with mozzarella cheese.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden, about 1 hour. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
