Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the eggplants, then pierce them several times with a fork.

In a food processor, combine the drained eggplant flesh, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, sea salt, and smoked paprika.

Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary, to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
