Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplants
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and grated
- 3 tablespoons raw tahini
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon plain full fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil plus more for serving
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For Serving:
- Zest of one small lemon
- ¼ teaspoon sumac
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Pierce the eggplants a few times with a knife (to prevent them from bursting open). Roast for 60 minutes, turning the eggplant every 15 minutes to promote even cooking.
- When cool enough to handle, slice each eggplant in half and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Place the eggplant in a food processor or blender along with the garlic, tahini, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and salt. Puree until smooth; taste and add salt as desired.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with olive oil and toppings of choice.

Notes
- Store Baba Ganoush leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, place the dip in a freezer-safe container, leaving some space for expansion. You can freeze it for up to 3 months.
- Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
