Ingredients
- 3 small eggplants (I used globed eggplants)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, more for roasting the eggplant and garnish
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
- Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Poke the eggplants with a fork and drizzle olive oil to coat on both sides. Place cut side down on the prepared pan.
- Roast for 35-40 minutes or until very tender.
- Allow the cooked eggplants to cool slightly. Gently scoop out the flesh into a food processor or blender.
- Add the garlic, lemon juice, tahini paste, olive oil, parsley, salt, cumin, and smoked paprika.
- Blend all of the ingredients together until desired consistency is reached. Give it a taste and add more salt if needed.
- Garnish with additional olive oil and chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve with toasted pita bread, pita chips, crackers, or chopped vegetables.
