Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplants in half lengthwise and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 30-40 minutes until the flesh is tender and the skin is slightly charred.

  2. 2

    Cool the Eggplant

    Remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes until they are manageable to touch.

  3. 3

    Scoop the Flesh

    Once cool, scoop out the flesh of the eggplants with a spoon and discard the skins.

  4. 4

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the roasted eggplant flesh, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

  5. 5

    Adjust Consistency

    If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water or more olive oil to reach your desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Finish and Garnish

    Transfer the baba ghanoush to a serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
