Ingredients
- 2 pieces Eggplants (medium-sized)
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash the eggplants and pierce their skin several times using a fork to allow steam to escape while roasting.
Step 3
Place the eggplants directly on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through, until their skin is charred and the flesh is soft.
Step 4
Once roasted, remove the eggplants from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Peel off the charred skin from the eggplants and discard it. Place the softened eggplant flesh into a mixing bowl.
Step 6
Mash the eggplant with a fork or use a food processor for a smoother texture.
Step 7
Grate or finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mashed eggplant.
Step 8
Stir in the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin. Mix until well combined and the dip is creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley.
Step 10
Serve the roasted eggplant dip with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
