Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplants
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prick the eggplants all over with a fork to prevent bursting.
Place eggplants on the prepared baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.
Remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Once cool enough to handle, slice the eggplants open and scoop the flesh into a strainer to drain some of the excess liquid for about 10 minutes.
In a food processor, combine the drained eggplant flesh, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and cumin.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the baba ghanoush to a serving bowl.
Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve with low-carb vegetables like cucumber slices or bell pepper strips.
