Ingredients
Baba Ganoush Dip
- 1 eggplant sliced
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to high or medium broil and place a rack at the top of the oven.
- Place the sliced eggplant in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to drain excess liquid, then pat the eggplant dry between two towels.
- Arrange the eggplant on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 10 minutes, turning once after 5 minutes. Add the garlic for a couple of minutes if you want to make it more flavorful.
- Once the eggplant is softened and golden brown, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before peeling away most of the skin.
- Add the flesh to a food processor along with the red pepper flakes, tahini, and lemon juice. Pulse to incorporate everything.
- Taste and adjust to preferences, then serve with pita or veggies.
Notes
- Once cooled, this dip can be stored in a lidded container in the fridge for about 4 days.
