- Drizzle with olive oil and roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender.
Blending
- Once roasted, scoop the flesh into a blender, adding fresh herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
Serving
- Serve with crackers, crudités, as a sandwich spread, or on a grain bowl.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Stir well before serving again. For a variation, consider adding roasted red peppers or cream cheese for added creaminess.
