Description

Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized eggplants
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 5 cloves minced garlic, preferably roasted
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp parsley

Directions

• Preparation The first step is to roast the eggplants in the oven. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.Slice each of the eggplants in half and pierce with a fork in several places. Roast in the pre-heated oven for about 45 minutes, or until soft. If you're not worried about added fat, you can drizzle the eggplants with a bit of olive oil first.Once the eggplants are soft, remove them form the oven and allow to cool slightly, then scoop out inside of eggplant, leaving the skin behind. In a blender or food processor, process eggplant with remaining ingredients until smooth. You can also mash all the ingredients together with a fork if you prefer a slightly chunkier texture. I like it both ways. Enjoy your homemade oven-roasted tahini-free baba ghanoush!Check the ingredients on your onion powder to make sure, but this simple recipe should be gluten-free and safe for vegetarians and vegans with gluten sensitivities.More homemade baba ganoush recipes:Chili Lime Baba Ganoush RecipeVegan Baba Ganoush with ParsleyEasy Baba Ganoush Eggplant Hummus
