Calories 17kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb eggplant
- ⅓ cup tahini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp liquid smoke
Instructions
- Heat grill to high heat. If grilling additional vegetables, drizzle and brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cut off the green stems of the eggplant. Place the eggplant and the vegetables on the grill. Turn the eggplant until blackened on all sides and soft throughout the middle, 25-55 minutes depending on the size. Turn and flip the vegetables until slightly charred but still crisp, 10-20 minutes depending on size.
- Once blackened, remove the eggplant and vegetables from the grill. Cool the eggplant for 15 minutes. Once cooled, remove the skin and place the soft eggplant in a blender canister or large bowl if using an immersion blender. Add the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and liquid smoke. Blend until smooth and creamy, 1-2 minutes.
- Serve warm, room temperature, or cool with pita and vegetables.
