1
Roast the Eggplant
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Prick the eggplants a few times with a fork and place them on the grill or baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.
2
Prepare the Ingredients
Once the eggplants are roasted, let them cool slightly. Peel off the charred skin, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
3
Blend the Babaganoush
Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin to the bowl with the eggplant. Use a fork or a food processor to blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the Babaganoush to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Serve with freshly baked pita bread.
