Baba Ghanoush

• 1 eggplant
• 1 large clove garlic, ideally roasted or at least toasted
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 2 Tbsp tahini
• sea salt
• pinch of paprika
• olive oil (for roasting)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Slice eggplant in half lengthwise, put on baking sheet and roast for 20-30 min until shriveled and browned. 
3. Peel away most of the skin of the eggplant (a little is OK) and add flesh to a food processor. It should be soft and tender and the skin should come off easy.
4. Add lemon juice, garlic, tahini, a pinch of salt, olive oil, paprika and mix until creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
