هذه بابا غنوج نباتي is a creamy Mediterranean dip recipe made from roasted eggplants, tahini, and garlic. It’s a delicious appetizer or spread for lunch wraps and sandwiches that I’ve been making for many years for barbecues and food platters!
Who doesn’t love homemade dips like my صلصة الفاصوليا البيضاء النباتية, ادامامي حمص أو حمص الأفوكادو النباتي? They are so much better than store-bought alternatives and very easy to make. Plus, eggplants are one of these vegetables that are not always appreciated, and that’s a shame.
In fact, eggplant is a high-antioxidant, high-fiber, and low-carb vegetable that I love working with. It’s a great vegetable to add nutrients to your day and boost your immune system. If you are not a big fan of the veggie, you need to try this super easy recipe!
You can also try my باذنجان متبل بصلصة الميسو or رولات الباذنجان النباتية. They will convince you that eggplant is excellent! It’s creamy, smooth, and packed with flavors. But, believe me, it’s hard to tell that it’s made from eggplant.

تعليمات
- Preheat an oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Prick the eggplant skin with a fork in several places.
- Trim the eggplant top green part and slice it in half, lengthwise.
- Place the eggplant halves on the prepared baking sheet, and skin down the sheet. Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil on each eggplant and rub to cover the flesh.
- Roast the eggplant for 25-30 minutes or until the flesh is brown, the eggplant skin blisters, and the flesh softens.
- Switch the oven to broil mode, and broil for 5-8 minutes, turning the eggplant frequently to broil both sides – this adds a lot of flavors.
- When baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool down for 10 minutes or until cold enough to handle.
- Use a fork to scrape off the soft roasted eggplant flesh and place it in a food processor. Discard eggplant skin.
- In the food processor, add the remaining ingredients crushed garlic cloves, lemon juice, tahini paste, salt, cumin, and Parsley.
- Process on medium speed until creamy and smooth.
- Taste and add more lemon juice, salt, pepper, or garlic to adjust it to your taste.
- Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl and serve with a drizzle of extra olive oil, paprika, and freshly chopped Parsley.
- Store immediately, or refrigerate for 2-3 hours for the best flavors.

Here are some ideas to swap the ingredients if needed.- معجون الطحينة – If you don’t have tahini paste, or you can’t eat tahini for some reason, then try plant-based Greek yogurt or sunflower seed butter instead.
- زيت – You can use avocado oil or any vegetable oil you have on hand, but olive oil really delivers the best flavors.
- عصير ليمون – If you have a citrus allergy, try using vinegar instead, like red wine vinegar, often used in Greek eggplant dip recipes.

المكونات والبدائل
All you need to make this easy Greek eggplant dip are:
- Large Eggplant – It must be firm to the touch with a lovely shiny skin. If the skin starts to wrinkle, it’s most likely too old.
- زيت الزيتون البكر الممتاز – Olive oil adds delicious taste and flavor.
- ثوم – من أجل النكهة.
- الملح والفلفل – للتتبيل.
- بقدونس – this adds a good flavor as well as a green touch.
- طحينة – Unhulled or hulled tahini, both works. However, unhulled tahini is a bit more bitter.
- عصير ليمون from fresh lemons. You can also use bottled lemon juice if you don’t have fresh fruits.
- الكمون المطحون
- بطعم الفليفلة - اختياري
How To Make Vegan Baba Ganoush
- Cutting Eggplants: The secret of this recipe is to roast and broil the eggplants to deliver maximum flavor. First, remove the top stem of each eggplant. Next, cut the eggplant halfway lengthwise (الصورة 1). Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place the eggplant halves on the tray, skin up.
- صناعة الفرش: Using a pastry brush, brush the eggplant flesh with olive oil (الصورة 2).
- Baking Eggplants: Bake the eggplants on the center rack of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the flesh turns brown and the skin forms blisters (الصورة 3). Broiling the eggplant is optional, but it increases the flavor of the dip. Turn the oven to broil mode, and broil the eggplant for 5 to 8 minutes, flipping them a few times, so they broil nicely on both sides. Place the baking sheet aside at room temperature and let the eggplants cool down until they are easy to handle by hand.
- Scraping Eggplants: When the eggplants are easy to grab, use a fork to rub and pull out the soft eggplant flesh from the skin (الصورة 4).
- Place In Processor: Discard the eggplant skin and place the roasted flesh in the bowl of a food processor. Add the remaining dip ingredients: garlic, oil, lemon juice, tahini paste, cumin, salt, and pepper (الصورة 5).
- Process Dip: Blend for 30 seconds on medium-high speed until the eggplant dip is creamy and smooth (الصورة 6). You can also work in pulses to keep pieces of eggplant in the dip and make a chunky roasted eggplant dip. Place the dip in a small shallow bowl, film the top with foil, and refrigerate for a few hours. The dip also tastes fantastic straight out of the food processor. But, a cold dip has way more flavor, so keeping the dip in the fridge is recommended for the best taste.
