Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplants
- 60 grams tahini
- 30 milliliters olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pierce the eggplants several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Place the eggplants directly on the oven rack with a baking sheet lined with foil underneath to catch any drips.
Roast the eggplants for about 45-50 minutes, or until the skins are charred and the flesh is very tender.
Remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are easy to handle.
Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon, discarding the skin.
Place the eggplant flesh in a bowl and mash it with a fork to your desired consistency.
Add the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed eggplant.
Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the baba ganoush to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve the baba ganoush with keto-friendly vegetables such as cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or celery sticks.
