    Once the eggplants are cool, scoop out the flesh and place it in a food processor. Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy.

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or tahini to your liking.

    Transfer the Baba Ghanoush to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
