1
Roasting the Eggplant
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplants with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30-40 minutes, until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Remove from the oven and let cool.
2
Preparing the Mixture
Once cooled, scoop the flesh of the eggplant into a mixing bowl. Add tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and paprika. Mash everything together with a fork or a potato masher until smooth and creamy.
3
Adjusting the Flavor
Taste the mixture and adjust salt, lemon juice, or tahini as needed. Blend until you reach the desired consistency.
4
Serving
Transfer the baba ganoush to a serving dish, drizzle with olive oil, and serve with warm pita bread.
