Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large aubergines
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pierce the aubergines several times with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the aubergines in the oven for about 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are soft and the skin is charred.
Remove the aubergines from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off the aubergines and discard it.
In a food processor, combine the roasted aubergine flesh, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, tahini, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve the dip with flatbreads, toasted pitas, or vegetable sticks.
