Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Arrange oven racks so you have one low and one high in the oven.
- Cut a shallow slit along the side of the eggplant and place into a baking dish.
- Roast in preheated oven on the lower rack until the eggplant is completely shrunken and soft, about 40 minutes. Move dish to higher rack and continue baking until the skin is charred, about 5 minutes more. Let eggplant cool until cool enough to handle.
- Peel and discard skin from eggplant. Put eggplant into a bowl; add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir until ingredients are evenly mixed. Drizzle olive oil over the baba ghanoush and garnish with parsley.

Did not taste like the authentic taste I’m used to. I think what’s missing is to roast the eggplant over open flame so you get that smokey flavor.

This is my new go-to for eggplants. It was easy to throw together for a party and smoother than traditional hummus. I didn't have parsley, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Will be maki...

I roasted the eggplant in thin slices on the grill with a lite spray of olive oil. It gave the final product a great smoky taste.
