Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplants
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prick the eggplants with a fork in several places and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the eggplants in the oven for 35-45 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh is very soft.
Remove the eggplants from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Once cool enough to handle, cut the eggplants in half and scoop out the flesh into a bowl.
Add olive oil, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the eggplant flesh.
Mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Alternatively, use a food processor for a creamier texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and drizzle with a little more olive oil before serving.
Enjoy with low-carb vegetables or keto-friendly crackers.
