Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Puncture the eggplants with a fork in several places. This prevents them from bursting during baking.
Place the eggplants on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the skin is charred and the eggplants have collapsed.
Allow the eggplants to cool slightly after roasting, then slice them open and scoop out the soft flesh into a large mixing bowl. Discard the skins.
Add the tahini, lemon juice, minced or pressed garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin to the eggplant flesh.
Using a blender or food processor, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If you like your babaganoush chunkier, you can mix by hand and leave some texture.
Taste the babaganoush and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
Transfer the babaganoush into a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors meld before enjoying. This Keto Babaganoush pairs well with vegetable sticks or low-carb crackers.
