1
Roast the Eggplant
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh with a knife. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes until the flesh is soft and slightly charred.
2
Prepare the Mixture
Once the eggplant is cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and place it in a food processor. Add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin to the processor.
3
Blend Until Smooth
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired.
4
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the baba ghanouj to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley before serving.
