Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Heat a medium pan on medium high and add your oil. Once oil is hot, add in your cubed eggplants. Saute for 10-12 minutes until the eggplant is soft.

Place sauteed eggplants in a food processor and blend until everything is smooth.

Add blended eggplants to a big bowl with the rest of your ingredients minus the marinara sauce and cilantro. Mix everything together very well until your eggplant mixture is a doughy consistency.

Form mixture into 1 tbsp ball and place onto an oil-spray baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes.
