Baba Ganoush

EverydayCooked

Baba ganoush is a traditional Middle Eastern dip made from roasted eggplant blended with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. The eggplant is typically charred before peeling, creating a signature smoky flavor that distinguishes it from similar chickpea-based spreads like hummus. This vegan dish offers a lower-calorie alternative rich in fiber and antioxidants, commonly served as a spread or accompaniment to raw vegetables and flatbreads.
