Made from super simple ingredients, this Baba ganoush recipe is uber delicious and relatively healthy. Plus, with some added liquid smoke and natural flavor from the grill, this dip has a smokiness that's so good!
Grill: Cut off the green stems of the eggplant. Place the eggplant on the grill. Turn the eggplant until blackened on all sides and soft throughout the middle, 25-55 minutes depending on the size. Once blackened, remove the eggplant and vegetables from the grill. Cool the eggplant for 15 minutes.
2 medium eggplant (about 2 lbs)
Combine: Once cooled, remove the skin and place the soft eggplant in a blender canister or large bowl if using an immersion blender. Add the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, 1-2 minutes.
⅓ cup tahini, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic, 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
Serve warm, room temperature, or cool with pita and vegetables.
