- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pierce the eggplants several times using a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Step 3
Place the eggplants on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Rotate the eggplants halfway through roasting for even cooking.

Once cooked, remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool slightly until they can be handled safely.
Step 5
Slice the eggplants open and scoop out the flesh, discarding the skin.
Step 6
Place the eggplant flesh in a food processor along with the olive oil, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and cumin.
Step 7
Pulse the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
Step 8
Transfer the baba ghanouj to a serving bowl, then sprinkle with smoked paprika and fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Enjoy your low carb baba ghanouj with vegetable sticks or as a spread.
