• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pierce the eggplants several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.

Step 3

Place the eggplants directly on the oven rack with a baking sheet lined with foil underneath to catch any drips.

Step 4

Roast the eggplants for about 45-50 minutes, or until the skins are charred and the flesh is very tender.

Step 5

Remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are easy to handle.

Step 6

Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon, discarding the skin.

Step 7

Place the eggplant flesh in a bowl and mash it with a fork to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Add the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed eggplant.

Step 9

Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Transfer the baba ganoush to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 12

Serve the baba ganoush with keto-friendly vegetables such as cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or celery sticks.
