    Keto Eggplant Rollatini

    Gluten FreeLow CarbVegetarianKeto

    A keto eggplant rollatini recipe that makes a hearty keto vegetarian dish. An Italian-style dish with thin slices of eggplant filled with spinach and ricotta, then baked with marinara sauce and mozzarella. Filling and satisfying.

    Eggplant makes a great keto vegetarian vegetable and can be used in a variety of dishes and sauces. Try it stuffed or make meatballs with it.

    What is eggplant rollatini?

    Eggplant rollatini is eggplant Parmesan taken to another level! Eggplant slices are dipped in eggs, then a coating which I’ve made keto by using almond flour and vegetarian Parmesan cheese. Cooked then rolled up with a cheesy spinach mixture they are baked. Slathered with a marinara sauce and more cheese it’s a delicious dish.

    Recipe Tips & Suggestions

    This can be made ahead by preparing the eggplant rolls and keeping them in the fridge until you are ready to assemble the dish (don't keep them in the marinara sauce as they will get soggy).

    To freeze this dish, store in a sealed container and freeze. Allow to thoroughly defrost before baking.

    The eggplant slices can be cooked without the almond flour and parmesan coating if you wanted to keep the dish nut free. Or simply used parmesan.

    If you don't have ricotta cheese, this can be substituted with cottage cheese, paneer or queso fresco.
