Description
Before blending together your next batch of baba ghanoush, grab some zucchini from the garden and grill them p until they’re charred and smoky to create a delicious Zucchini Baba Ghanoush.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 whole zucchini
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 garlic cloves (chopped)
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Pinch of cayenne
- 1/2 lemon (zest and juiced)
Garnish
- Chopped roasted hazelnuts
- Fresh mint (chopped)
- Pinch of paprika
- Pinch of zaatar
- Drizzle of olive oil
Instructions
- Using a hot grill (I used our charcoal grill for added smoky flavor), cook the zucchini until all sides are blackened. Use tongs to turn it every so often.
- Once done, remove and place in a bowl and cover with foil and allow until easy to handle or room temperature. Once done, carefully remove all the outer charred skin, leaving the soft flesh.
- Add zucchini flesh to food processor along with tahini, garlic, lemon zest and juice and spices and pulse just a few times to mix everything together. Don’t over mix or it will get too thin.
- Once done, pour onto a shallow bowl and garnish with mint, spices, chopped nuts and a good drizzle of olive oil.
