Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggplants
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pierce the eggplants several times with a fork and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the eggplants in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until they are soft and the skin appears wrinkled and slightly charred.
Remove the eggplants from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.
Once cool enough to handle, slice the eggplants lengthwise, and scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Discard the skin.
Place the eggplant flesh into a food processor along with the tahini, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.
Pulse the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed.
Transfer the babaganoush to a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
