Roasted Eggplant Dip or Baba Ganoush, flavored with tahini, garlic, cumin and olive oil, is a tasty low carb accompaniment to grilled meats and vegetables.
A ¼ cup serving of baba ghanoush has only 5-6 grams of net carbs. It is low-carb, keto, vegan-friendly and gluten-free. Poke holes in the skin of the eggplant with a fork or knife. Place on a baking sheet. Scorch the eggplant under a broiler for 5-10 minutes on each side or until the skin is charred all around and the eggplant flesh is tender.
To the eggplant I add garlic, tahini paste, yogurt, lemon juice and olive oil. Some baba ganoush recipes call for adding ground cumin and other spices or seasonings. And others add mayonnaise to make the dip creamy. I add Greek yogurt because it’s thick and tart.
Both dips use a hefty amount of garlic and ground sesame seeds, or tahini, for a lot of the flavor. When looking at baba ganoush vs. hummus, however, it uses eggplant instead of chickpeas as the main ingredient. Because nutrition-rich eggplant is low in calories and high in fiber, it’s a great choice in a dip.
