Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Roast the Eggplant

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    While the eggplant is cooling, prepare the roasted sweet pepper by chopping it into small pieces. Peel and mince the garlic.

  3. 3

    Blend the Mixture

    Once the eggplant is cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and place it in a food processor. Add roasted sweet pepper, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and paprika.

  4. 4

    Process Until Smooth

    Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the baba ganoush to a serving bowl. Drizzle with additional olive oil and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with pita bread or veggies.
