Simple Baba Ganoush

Get ready for this to be your new favorite snack!

Baba ganoush is one of my favorite discoveries I’ve made since switching to a plant based diet! It looks like hummus… but it’s eggplant, not chickpeas! Genius. This dip is delicious, nutritious, and a very satisfying snack.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggplants
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tbsp chopped parsley

Method:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C.
• Slice eggplants in half lengthwise. Place on a baking sheet cut side up. Poke holes in the eggplants and brush/drizzle with olive oil.

• Roast for 45-50 minutes or until very tender.
• Let the eggplants cool for 20 minutes. Scoop the insides into a medium-sized bowl.
• Add all the other ingredients to the bowl. Mix & mash everything together until combined and smooth, or transfer to a blender and pulse until smooth.

• Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Top with more parsley and/or olive oil, and serve with pita chips or veggies. Enjoy!
