Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Eggplant
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Extra olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prick the eggplants a few times with a fork to prevent bursting, then place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Roast the eggplants in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, turning occasionally until the skin is charred and the flesh is tender.
While the eggplants are roasting, finely mince the garlic. Set aside.
Once cooked, remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
Peel off the skin from the eggplants and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl, discarding any excess liquid.
Add tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the eggplant flesh.
Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the mixture until it is smooth and well combined. For a creamier consistency, you can use a food processor.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the baba ghanoush to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped parsley and drizzle with extra olive oil.
Serve with low-carb vegetable sticks or keto-friendly bread.
