This homemade baba ghanoush recipe uses grilled zucchini instead of traditional eggplant for an easy-to-make, flavorful dip or spread.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 8
- 1 tbsp 100% Lemon Juice
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 zucchini(s)
- 3 tbsp Tahini
- 2 garlic clove
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1 pinch Spices - Smoked Paprika
DIRECTIONS
1
TIP: Cut the zucchini lengthwise into 4 slices each.
2
Prepare an indoor or outdoor grill. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and oil. Pour into a 9- x 13-inch dish. Add the zucchini slices and toss to fully coat with the lemon vinaigrette. Grill the zucchini over medium-high until well cooked and rich grill marks form, about 5 minutes per side.
3
Add the grilled zucchini, tahini, garlic, salt, cumin, and paprika to a food processor. Cover and pulse until desired consistency is reached.
4
Transfer to a medium bowl, cover, and chill until ready to serve.
