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!
