Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roasting the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplant with a fork in several places to allow steam to escape. Place it on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Allow it to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    While the eggplant is roasting, peel the garlic cloves and set aside.

Blending

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the eggplant has cooled, cut it in half and scoop out the flesh into a food processor. Add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and paprika.

  2. 4

    Blend Until Smooth

    Pulse the food processor until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Baba Ghanoush

    Transfer the baba ghanoush to a serving bowl. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired and sprinkle with chopped parsley and pomegranate seeds for garnish.
