Baba Ganoush Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare 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. 2

    Cool and Scoop

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

  3. 3

    Blend Ingredients

    Add the garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika to the bowl with the eggplant. Use a food processor or blender to mix everything until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more salt, lemon juice, or tahini to suit your taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the Baba Ganoush to a serving bowl, drizzle with additional olive oil, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
