Ingredients
- Eggplants 15 oz

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place the eggplants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and make six to seven shallow punctures in different spots on each one. Put the baking sheet in the oven preheated to 390°F for about forty minutes. After twenty minutes, flip the eggplants over to the other side. This, along with the punctures, is necessary to ensure the vegetables cook evenly.
Step 2
Remove the skin from the cooked eggplants and transfer the flesh to a bowl. Add yogurt, tahini (sesame paste), garlic, cumin, cilantro, and lemon juice to the bowl, and blend everything together until smooth and thick.
Step 3
Place the baba ghanoush in the refrigerator for an hour. Then transfer it to a serving dish (or dishes) and drizzle with olive oil mixed with paprika.
