If you know me at all you’ll know that I’m obsessed with appetizers. I’d eat appetizers and finger food for every meal of the day if I could – there’s just something about dips and spreads, and super flavourful little bites that’s just so appetizing, don’t you think? This Easy Homemade Baba Ganoush is one of my absolutely favourite dips to make, and I’m excited to be sharing it with you today!

What is Baba Ganoush?

Baba Ganoush (also spelled Baba Ghanoush) is a Middle Eastern-style dip that’s made from roasted eggplants, garlic, lemon and spices. It’s made in the same way hummus is made – blended until smooth – and it’s served similarly too, as a dip for pitas or veggies, as a spread, and even as a condiment alongside a meal. It’s often served at Middle Eastern restaurants as an appetizer and alongside dishes like Shawarma or Doner Kebab (one of our family’s favourites!).

How do you make Baba Ganoush?

Baba Ganoush is made by blending a whole roasted eggplant (remove the skin before blending), fresh or roasted garlic, lemon, tahini, olive oil and spices. Using a high-powered blender or food processor is the best way to achieve the light and smooth texture that makes Baba Ganoush so delicious. My favourite blender is THIS ONE from Blendtec and it works fantastically for recipes like this Easy Homemade Baba Ganoush. I also love THIS FOOD PROCESSOR for this recipe, and all my favourite homemade hummus recipes.
