Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roasting the Eggplants

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Poke the eggplants with a fork several times and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes until soft and charred. Remove from oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Preparing the Eggplant Mixture

    Once the eggplants are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and place it in a mixing bowl. Add tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Chilling the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Preparing the Pita and Carrots

    While the eggplant mixture is chilling, cut the pita bread into wedges and slice the carrots into sticks.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Serve the smoked eggplant dip in a bowl with pita wedges and carrot sticks on the side for dipping.
