Baba Ghanoush

 

Baba Ghanoush

Ingredients

  • 1–2 eggplants (about 2 lbs)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2–3 tbsp sesame paste (tahini)
  • 1–2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • Juice of 1 lemon or lime (about 2½ tbsp)
  • Salt and cayenne, to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Cut eggplants in half lengthwise. Line a baking sheet with foil. Poke holes in eggplants with a fork, drizzle with olive oil, and coat both sides. Place cut‑side down.

Roast 35–40 minutes, until very tender. Cool about 15 minutes, then scoop flesh into a bowl.

Add remaining ingredients, reserving 1 tbsp olive oil for garnish. Mash until smooth. Season to taste, drizzle with reserved oil, and serve with toasted pita or chopped vegetables.
