1
Roast the Eggplant
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the eggplant several times with a fork, then place it on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Let it cool.
2
Prepare the Ingredients
Once the eggplant is cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a bowl, discarding the skin. Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika to the bowl.
3
Blend the Mixture
Using a food processor or blender, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
4
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the baba ghannouj to a serving dish, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top. Serve with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
