For the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce:

- 2 red bell peppers
- 1/4 cup olive oil

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut the eggplant and zucchinis lengthwise into thin slices. Brush them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they are soft and pliable.

To assemble the Tolma, place a spoonful of the rice mixture on each slice of eggplant and zucchini. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in a baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are heated through.
To make the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, roast the red bell peppers over an open flame or under the broiler until the skin is charred. Place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes.
