Baba Ghanouj Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplant with a fork a few times, place it on a baking sheet, and roast for about 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the inside is soft.

  2. 2

    Cool and Scoop

    Once roasted, remove the eggplant from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it open and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, discarding the skin.

  3. 3

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the roasted eggplant flesh, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the baba ghanouj to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle paprika, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with pita bread or vegetables.
