Amazingly Tasty Eggplant Recipes You Should Try

2. Baba Ghanoush

Baba ghanoush is a creamy, smoky dip made from eggplant, garlic, and tahini. It’s flavorful and just as easy to make as hummus!

Start by using a knife to make holes in a large eggplant. Coat the eggplant in olive oil and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the skin is wrinkled and the eggplant is tender. Once cooked, scrape the flesh into a food processor with two cloves of garlic, a quarter cup of lemon juice, and a quarter cup of tahini.

Blend the mixture and add extra virgin olive oil until the mixture is creamy. Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley and serve with falafel, pita bread, or carrot sticks.
