Preparation Steps

1

Roasting the Eggplant

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplants with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.

2

Cooling and Scooping

Remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, cut them in half and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.

3

Mixing Ingredients

Add tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and paprika to the eggplant flesh. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.

4

Garnishing

Transfer the babaganoush to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with chopped parsley and paprika for garnish.

5

Serving

Serve with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers as a dip. Enjoy!
