Cut the eggplant into fairly thin, long slices and sprinkle them with salt. Let the eggplant sit for at least 10 minutes.
The salt will draw out the moisture of the eggplant, which will make it more flavorful.
Pat the eggplant dry with kitchen towels and heat a grill pan over high heat.
Drizzle the eggplant with olive oil and grill on both sides until grill marks appear. Make sure the eggplant is fully cooked but make sure it won't burn.
Season the eggplant with pepper and salt and repeat until all the slices are grilled.
Cut the grilled bell pepper into small pieces and make the roll-ups by starting with bell pepper, then mozzarella and finish with fresh basil.
Roll the eggplant slices as tightly as possible and repeat for the rest. Serve right away, because they taste best when the eggplant is still warm. Enjoy!
Why sprinkle eggplant with salt?
When you sprinkle eggplant with salt after cutting, it draws out the moisture. This improves the texture of the eggplant, making it more flavorful after cooking. It also helps the eggplant absorb less oil while grilling or frying.
Can I make eggplant roll-ups ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the eggplant roll-ups a day in advance. They still taste great when they're cold, although they are best when served warm.
