Ingredients
-
1 pound eggplant
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
-
2 tablespoons tahini
-
2 cloves garlic
-
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
-
⅛ teaspoon red chile powder
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
½ tablespoon plain yogurt, or more to taste
-
salt to taste
-
1 pinch paprika
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet.
-
Halve eggplants and brush cut sides with olive oil. Place face-down onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Roast in the preheated oven until softened, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool, about 30 minutes.

Scoop flesh out of skins and place in a mesh strainer. Discard skins. Press down on flesh to remove liquid or drippings. Transfer eggplant flesh to a food processor. Add lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, and chile powder. Drizzle olive oil on top of everything. Blend well, 45 seconds to 1 minute.

Mix in plain yogurt and season with salt. Serve with a sprinkle of paprika over top for garnish.
