Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the eggplants several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking. Place the eggplants directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and roast for about 40-50 minutes, or until the skins are charred and the flesh is very soft and collapsed. This will give the baba ganoush its signature smoky flavor.
2 While the eggplants are roasting, prepare the gluten-free pita chips. Cut each sheet of gluten-free pita bread into 8 wedges. In a medium bowl, toss the pita wedges with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until evenly coated. Spread the seasoned pita wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3 Place the baking sheet with the pita chips into the preheated oven alongside the eggplants. Bake the pita chips for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp. Keep a close eye on them as they can burn quickly. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
4 Once the eggplants are roasted and cool enough to handle, carefully slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out the soft flesh into a food processor. Discard the skins. Add the tahini, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the food processor with the eggplant flesh.
5 Process the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed, for about 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired. Spoon the baba ganoush into a serving bowl, drizzle with a little extra olive oil, and sprinkle with smoked paprika for garnish. Serve immediately with the cooled gluten-free pita chips.

Tips & Notes

For a smoky flavor, char the eggplants over a gas flame or on a grill until the skin blisters before finishing them in the oven.
Drain the scooped eggplant flesh in a sieve for 10 minutes. Extra liquid makes the dip watery.
Watch the gluten-free pita chips closely in step 3. They can go from golden to burnt within a minute or two.
