Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized Eggplant
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Extra olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Prick the eggplants a few times with a fork to prevent bursting, then place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Step 3

Roast the eggplants in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, turning occasionally until the skin is charred and the flesh is tender.

Step 4

While the eggplants are roasting, finely mince the garlic. Set aside.

Step 5

Once cooked, remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes.

Step 6

Peel off the skin from the eggplants and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl, discarding any excess liquid.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the mixture until it is smooth and well combined. For a creamier consistency, you can use a food processor.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Transfer the baba ghanoush to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped parsley and drizzle with extra olive oil.

Step 11

Serve with low-carb vegetable sticks or keto-friendly bread.
