Dip Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh in a diamond pattern. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 30-35 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    While the eggplant is roasting, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Blend Ingredients

    Once the eggplant is roasted and cooled slightly, scoop out the flesh into a food processor. Add the sautéed garlic, goat cheese, honey, chili powder, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle with additional honey and sprinkle with chili powder before serving. Enjoy with pita chips or fresh vegetables.
