Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Roast the eggplant

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Pierce 2 large eggplants all over with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast the eggplants for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.

2
Cool and peel the eggplant

Remove the roasted eggplants from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes, or until comfortable to handle. Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and scoop out the soft flesh, discarding the skin.

3
Prepare the garlic and parsley

Mince 3 cloves of garlic and finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley.

4
Blend the ingredients

In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted eggplant flesh, 1/4 cup of tahini, the juice of 1 large lemon, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy.

5
Adjust seasoning

Taste the baba ghanoush and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or tahini to taste.

6
Serve

Transfer the baba ghanoush to a serving bowl and garnish with the chopped parsley. Serve the dip chilled or at room temperature with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
