Description
Babaganoush is a delicious Mediterranean dip that's made from roasted eggplant and tahini. It's similar to hummus, another Mediterranean dip, but essentially just using eggplant instead of chickpeas. The two pair great together on a Greek salad, as a spread for Whole Wheat Pita Bread, or a dip for Dolmas (Stuffed Grape Leaves). Each serving is about 2 tbsp (32 g).

- Preheat your oven to 400F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Wash your eggplant, slice off the ends, and cut in half
- Bake cut side down until the eggplant collapses and is easily pierced with a fork (about 45 minutes). Remove from the oven, flip it over over, and allow it to cook for a few minutes
- Add the eggplant (with the skin!) and all other ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth. Serve with pita bread, dolmas, or over a salad. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer
