Who doesn’t love homemade dips like my Vegan White Bean Dip, Edamame Hummus, or Vegan Avocado Hummus? They are so much better than store-bought alternatives and very easy to make. Plus, eggplants are one of these vegetables that are not always appreciated, and that’s a shame. In fact, eggplant is a high-antioxidant, high-fiber, and low-carb vegetable that I love working with. It’s a great vegetable to add nutrients to your day and boost your immune system. If you are not a big fan of the veggie, you need to try this super easy recipe! You can also try my Miso Glazed Eggplant or Vegan Eggplant Rollatini. They will convince you that eggplant is excellent! It’s creamy, smooth, and packed with flavors. But, believe me, it’s hard to tell that it’s made from eggplant.
Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need to make this easy Greek eggplant dip are:
Large Eggplant – It must be firm to the touch with a lovely shiny skin. If the skin starts to wrinkle, it’s most likely too old. Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Olive oil adds delicious taste and flavor. Garlic – for flavor. Salt and Pepper – to season. Parsley – this adds a good flavor as well as a green touch. Tahini – Unhulled or hulled tahini, both works. However, unhulled tahini is a bit more bitter. Lemon Juice from fresh lemons. You can also use bottled lemon juice if you don’t have fresh fruits. Ground Cumin Paprika – optional
