Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplant with a fork all over and place it on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Let it cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dip

    Once the eggplant is cool, peel off the skin and scoop the flesh into a food processor. Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and paprika. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the babagnoush to a serving bowl and drizzle with additional olive oil. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
