BABA GANOUSH | how to make baba ganoush (roasted eggplant dip)
Baba ganoush is a delicious dip made from roasted eggplants. It's creamy, savory, and exudes an irresistibly smokey flavor. Want to learn how to make baba ganoush? I've got you covered in today's video!
Ever since my trip to the Middle East years ago, I've been savoring baba ganoush. Now don't get me wrong, hummus is just as delicious. But this dip has an insanely scrumptious smoky flavor - all thanks to the method of charring eggplants.
Baba ganoush is great as part of a mezze platter (common in Middle East and Mediterranean cuisine), as a healthy appetizer or easy snack. Enjoy!
