Delicious! I took a shortcut and used a jarred aubergine (European/Middle Eastern name for eggplant) that I purchased from a Mediterranean market and this was still delicious! I can only imagine it would be even better using eggplant that you roast. However, the jarred eggplant was a real time/process saver. I also added a couple of drops of liquid smoke to enhance the smokiness.

In reply to Sel. Hi Sel, yes it can be made a couple days in advance.

I made this for a small gathering. Rave reviews! I did salt the eggplant before roasting. I added smoked paprika with the cumin. To serve I put chili crisp in the middle. People were surprised I made it….and I will again! Better the next day and the day after.

Hi Kate. I’m making for a work potluck on Wednesday so I’m wondering if I can make it today (two days in advance)? You mentioned in notes some like it after a couple days for flavor, but checking with you. Thank you!

Your baba ganoush recipe is so simple and so delicious. I’ve made it many times and whoever eats it goes wild, it is so good.
I’m not a fan of tahini so I leave it out and it does not feel like anything is missing. Also, I roast a whole garlic at the same time the eggplant is roasting. I just cut off the top, add some olive oil and a little salt and pepper and wrap in foil and place it in an ovenproof little bowl. It is soft and yummy when it comes out of the oven and is easy to add to the eggplant.
I follow so many of your recipes, thank you Kate.

Love this. I roasted the eggplant in the airfryer so it was quicker. It tastes delicious. When I looked at my recipe file I discovered I already had the exact same recipe, I just need to make it more often.

In reply to Amanda Wagner. Hi Amanda, traditional baba ganoush uses tahini, and the flavor complements the earthy eggplant. I recommend the recipe as written, but you can adjust according to your taste and dietary needs.
