My second attempt at baba ghanoush and it was superb! The first time was a different recipe that used the air fryer to cook the eggplant and it was awful. I had three small eggplants from the garden and wasn’t sure on the eggplant quantity so started with about half the other ingredients. Loved it!

Excellent! Just put half the amount of lemon juice because we don’t like it very lemony.

super easy to make and a great side dish or antipasto!
I used less lemon juice and Bbqed the eggplant over direct heat, low and slow to add some nice smokey flavor.

My first homemade baba Ganoush - it was a success! The roast garlic is worth the extra time. Used less lemon juice, only a couple of spoonfuls

Baba ghanoush is one of my fav dishes! First time making it! All the ingredients came together beautifully. Grilled the eggplant on a stovetop grill. Takes a bit of time so the next time I know I got to get to the grilling some time before I make it. I am West Indian, so I adjusted the cayenne pepper to get it spicer!

Great and easy to make. Although a bit too much lemon for my taste... 1 would have been enough.

I was a bit heavy handed with the cayenne, but still a great dish. Never thought I would like baba ghanoush that I made!! can't wait to make again

I ended up blending the eggplant because it hadn't roasted all the way inside. I think next time I'll halve it first before roasting it. Nice recipe

Delicious💕 it takes a little time to roast the garlic and the eggplant but it is all worth it. Eggplant in Puerto Rico is called Berenjena. Thank you for your comments.

crowd pleaser everyone loved the intense smoky eggplant flavor and balance of spices.

Delicious! Easy to make. Make sure you roast the eggplants. I just did it in the oven. Sliced them in half, placed face down on a baking sheet, and baked on 350. I left them in the oven for about 50 min. I probably baked them longer then needed but I wasn’t in any hurry.

Followed directions pretty closely except I used one lemon instead of 2.. fabulous!

Pretty darn good for my first try using raw garlic which was a bit overwhelming. Trying a second time with roasted garlic and I will seek to have a more tender roast on the eggplant to make it a little less lumpier.

I made it a few times now, really amazing meal! I actually like it with less lemon, just one and a half.
