- Using a mandolin slicer, cut eggplant lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices. Season with fine sea salt and ground black pepper.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges start to brown slightly. Slices should be pliable and flexible, but not crispy.

Notes
- In order for this recipe to work, the ingredients need to be as dry as possible. Drain ricotta cheese in a fine mesh sieve or a cheesecloth lined colander. Dab roasted red pepper with paper towels until dry. Wring out cooked spinach to release excess water.
- For spinach, use 2 cups fresh spinach in a skillet with 1 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Toss with tongs until spinach has wilted. You can also use frozen spinach. Whichever method you use, drain well.
