Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Once the eggplant is cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and place it in a food processor. Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Blend the Mixture

    Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, you can add a little water or more olive oil to reach your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the baba ghanoush and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the baba ghanoush to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Serve with pita bread or vegetable sticks.
