Preparación

1. 1

   Prep baking sheets: Preheat oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with foil. Grease foil.

2. 2

   Bake the eggplant slices.: Wash and trim the tops off of the eggplants. Then slice eggplants lengthwise into about 1/4" thick slices. Arrange them on baking sheets. Season the tops with salt and pepper, and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until soft but not mushy.

   Chop the vegetable filling: While eggplants are baking shred the carrots, and finely dice the onion and bell peppers.

   Fill and roll up the eggplant slices: When the eggplants have baked and cooled start assembling the rollups. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the vegetable mixture onto the bottom part of the eggplant slices. Roll eggplant and place back onto the baking sheet; repeat rolling the remaining eggplant.

6. 6

   Make the aioli and smear tops of eggplant with it: Crush garlic and add to 1/2 a cup of mayo; stir to combine and lightly smear tops of the rolled eggplants.
