Smoky & Creamy Baba Ghanoush
This smoky, creamy Baba Ghanoush is a classic Mediterranean eggplant dip made simple! Pair it with crispy Fiber Gourmet Ranch Thinables for a zesty, garlic-herb-infused, high-fiber snack.
The secret to an unforgettable Baba Ghanoush is roasting whole eggplant until the skin chars and the interior turns silky soft, creating a rich, naturally smoky profile. Blended with nutty tahini, fresh lemon juice, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil, this luscious dip pairs perfectly with crunchy Fiber Gourmet Ranch Thinables for a savory, herb-packed treat.
1 box Fiber Gourmet Ranch Thinables (for serving)
1 medium eggplant (about 1 to 1.5 lbs)
1/4 cup tahini
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp fine salt (or to taste)
Optional Garnish: Chopped fresh dill or parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, or a pinch of crushed black pepper
Drain excess liquid: After scooping out the roasted eggplant flesh, let it sit in a fine-mesh strainer for 5–10 minutes so excess water drains off. This ensures a rich, creamy dip rather than a watery one.
Char for extra smoke: Poke the eggplant skin with a fork and roast until the skin is blistered and completely collapsed to get that signature smoky depth.
Mash or blend: For a silkier dip, blend everything in a food processor; for a more traditional rustic texture, mash the ingredients by hand with a fork.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Prick the eggplant several times with a fork to prevent it from bursting. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through, until completely soft and collapsed.
Remove the eggplant from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Cut it open lengthwise, scoop out the soft flesh into a strainer or colander, and discard the charred skin. Let it drain for 5–10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Transfer the drained eggplant flesh to a bowl or food processor. Add the tahini, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and salt. Pulse or mash vigorously until smooth and well combined.
Scoop the dip into a serving bowl, sprinkle with chopped fresh dill or parsley if desired, and serve immediately with Fiber Gourmet Ranch Thinables for dipping!

Herbed Twist: Fold in finely chopped fresh dill or parsley along with toasted pine nuts for added texture.
