It’s super simple, but it’s packed with so much flavor. If you are a fan of eggplants and you haven’t tried baba ganoush yet, then you need to make yourself a big bowl of this SCRUMPTIOUS dip. Trust me, you are going to love it! Baba ganoush is made by grilling or charring eggplants over the flame of a gas stove. I don’t have a grill or a gas stove (mine is electric), so I roast the eggplants in the oven. And it’s just as delicious. I also like using roasted garlic. Traditional baba ganoush is made with raw garlic, but I find roasted garlic is sweeter and has a more delicate taste and pairs amazingly well with the smoky taste from roasted eggplants. The best part is, you only need 5 simple ingredients to make this awesome dip. And you could use a food processor, but I just love mashing everything with a fork, so much easier and I love the texture! Baba ganoush is a great party appetizer or healthy snack. Enjoy it with crunchy veggies, crackers or pita. This eggplant dip is so RICH, SMOKY, CREAMY AND FLAVORFUL, you won’t be able to stop yourself from dipping yet another slice of bread in it. **If you try this recipe, let us know what you think.

Roast for 10 minutes and remove the garlic cloves, they should be soft to the touch by now (if not, bake them for another 5 – 10 minutes). Place the eggplants back in the oven for another 50 minutes. Until the skin collapses and the inside is super tender. Remove from the oven and let cool. - While the eggplants are cooling, peel the garlic cloves and place them in a medium bowl. Mash the garlic cloves with a fork until they break down. - Once the eggplants are cool, cut in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Dump the eggplant into the bowl with the garlic. Mash with a fork. - Add tahini, lemon, sea salt and use the fork to stir vigorously to combine. - Serve with chopped parsley, pomegranate seeds, sesame seeds and a generous drizzle of olive oil. - Enjoy! ### Video ### Search ### Recent Post - [Single-Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/12/04/single-serve-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/) - [Herbed Quinoa Pea Salad](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/10/21/herbed-quinoa-pea-salad/) - [Greek-Inspired Potato Stew](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/30/greek-inspired-potato-stew/) - [No Churn Vegan Chocolate Almond Ice Cream](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/23/no-churn-vegan-chocolate-almond-ice-cream/) - [Apple Pecan Cookies](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/08/18/apple-pecan-cookies/) ### Archives Archives Select Month December 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 April 2025 October 2024 September 2024 August 2024 July 2024 June 2024 May 2024 April 2024 March 2024 December 2023 November 2023 October 2023 September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 June 2023 May 2023 April 2023 March 2023 February 2023 January 2023 December 2022 November 2022 October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 June 2022 May 2022 April 2022 March 2022 February 2022 January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 September 2020 August 2020 June 2020 May 2020 April 2020 January 2017 ### Leave a Reply [Cancel reply](/2022/01/03/baba-ganoush-eng/#respond) You must be [logged in](https://mondaydreams.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmondaydreams.com%2F2022%2F01%2F03%2Fbaba-ganoush-eng%2F) to post a comment.
