Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large aubergines (eggplants)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the aubergines and poke several holes in them using a fork. This helps to release steam as they roast.
Place the aubergines on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the skins are charred and the flesh is completely soft.
Remove the aubergines from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once cooled enough to handle, peel off and discard the skins.
Transfer the flesh to a food processor. Add olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, smoked paprika, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For a smokier flavor, you can add a bit more smoked paprika.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve with fresh vegetable sticks or low-carb crackers. Enjoy your Low Carb Smoky Aubergine Dip!
