Step-by-Step Instructions for Baba Ganoush
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pierce the eggplants several times with a fork and wrap each in aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped eggplants directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-70 minutes until the flesh is fork-tender.
- Remove the eggplants from the oven and cool for about 15-20 minutes. Peel off the skin and scoop out the flesh.
- Transfer the eggplant flesh into a strainer over a bowl. Press down with a spoon to eliminate excess moisture for about 10-15 minutes.
- In a food processor, combine the strained eggplant, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with parsley and smoked paprika. Serve with pita chips or veggies.
