Preparation Steps

1

Roasting the Eggplant

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes or until the skin is charred and the flesh is very soft. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

2

Scooping the Eggplant

Once the eggplant is cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh with a spoon and discard the skin.

3

Blending the Ingredients

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

4

Adjusting Flavor and Serving

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer the baba ghannouj to a serving bowl, drizzle with additional olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika and fresh parsley before serving.
