Ingredients

Method

Directions

  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 in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the eggplants are soft and the skin is charred.

  2. 2

    Cool and Scoop

    Once cooked, remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut them in half and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, discarding the skins.

  3. 3

    Blend Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer the babagannush to a serving dish, drizzle with additional olive oil, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve with pita bread or vegetables.
