Preheat the oven to 180°C / 356°F.
Wash the eggplants and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice in half lengthwise. Brush the inside of the eggplant (not the skin) with oil, smoked paprika, salt & pepper.
Turn each eggplant piece around so that the sliced part faces the baking sheet (see images for reference). Roast it in the oven like this for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, add garlic to your TM bowl. Chop for 3 seconds / speed 6.
Scoop out the inside of the eggplant and place it into your TM bowl along with the remaining ingredients.
Mix for 5-10 seconds/speed 5 or until a desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust. Then serve!

Tip 1 - Adjust the chunkiness to your liking. Mix it for longer if you prefer a smooth texture.
Tip 2 - Always taste & adjust to your liking. Make it more lemony, garlicky, salty, etc. if desired.
Tip 3 - Don't forget to top it off with your favorite toppings - herbs & nuts work well.
Tip 4 - If your baba ganoush gets stuck, simply scrape down the sides of the bowl.
The dip will thicken and set in the fridge.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and fresh garlic (not garlic powder).

To store – Spoon the dip into a clean airtight container. Then place in the fridge and eat within 4-5 days.

To freeze – Place in a freezer-safe, airtight container. Store in the freezer for up to 1 month.

To thaw - Remove baba ganoush from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature.
