Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- Wash and dry the eggplants. Then using a fork, pierce the eggplants all around several times. This will allow the steam to escape when roasting.
- Place the eggplants on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, peel the skin and discard. Place the flesh in a sieve over a bowl to drain for a few minutes.
- In a clean bowl, add the drained eggplant flesh, tahini, salt, paprika, garlic and lemon juice. Mash together until a chunky consistency is obtained. If you prefer it smooth, pulse it in a food processor or use an immersion blender.
- Drizzle some olive oil, sprinkle some paprika and garnish with sesame seeds and parsley.
- Serve with your favorite chips. Enjoy!
Notes
- If on a Whole30, skip the chips and use veggies for dipping.
