Ingredients

• 2 medium eggplants, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing eggplant)
• 2 large potatoes, washed and cut into wedges
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for potatoes)
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Start by preparing the eggplant: Lay the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush both sides of the slices with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
3. While the eggplant is cooling, prepare the filling for the rolls: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes (if using), minced garlic, and fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Once the eggplant slices are cool enough to handle, spoon a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto the wide end of each slice. Roll up the eggplant tightly around the filling and place the rolls seam-side down in a baking dish.
5. For the baked potatoes, toss the potato wedges in olive oil, then sprinkle with rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the potatoes evenly on a separate baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, turning halfway through cooking.
6. Once the eggplant rolls are all assembled, bake them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the rolls are heated through and slightly browned on top.
7. Once the eggplant rolls and baked potatoes are done, remove from the oven. Serve the eggplant rolls alongside the baked potatoes, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
