In this version of cannelloni, thin aubergine / eggplant slices replace the typical tubes of pasta, so make it an excellent dish if you live the LCHF lifestyle.
Tip - working with the aubergine / eggplant slices is a little tricky, so take your time and handle them carefully. Make sure not to cut your slices too thin, or they’ll fall apart when you try to roll them up. Overcooking them will have the same effect, so keep an eye on the oven and take them out when they start getting a little brown.
Do give it a try, I'm sure you will find the dish so worthwhile ...
