  • Place the eggplants on a baking tray, drizzle with some olive oil, and bake at 200 °C for 40 minutes on roasting or grill mode. Remember that the skin must be completely charred.
  • Once the eggplants are out of the oven, remove the skin and reserve the pulp, which should have a very smooth consistency. Set aside.
  • On a cutting board, finely chop the garlic cloves and parsley.
  • Use a food processor to grind the eggplant pulp, tahini, lemon juice, and season with salt; you should grind for about 5 seconds, as the texture should remain slightly chunky. Remove from the processor and mix the eggplant pulp with garlic and parsley.
  • Serve the babaganoush with olive oil, chopped parsley, and a bit of paprika.
