Ingredients

For Baba Ghanoush

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 4 medium mint leaves
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds for topping

For Pita Chips

  • 4 oz. gluten-free pita bread sliced into triangles (Bfree brand, if gluten free)
  • Olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice eggplant in half lengthwise and use a fork to poke several holes in flesh. Brush with olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes. Using tongs, flip each eggplant and roast for 20 minutes longer. Cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
