Here is how you make Roasted Eggplant and Garlic dip:

how to . . . . So I preheated the oven to 425*, and prepped my ingredients. I washed the eggplants and stabbed them several times (carefully of course) with a very thin-bladed knife. I made sure the garlic had no skins. I put the garlic in a small pan and stuck it on the top rack, and I put the eggplants, poked-side-up, directly on the bottom rack. I took the garlic pan out after about 25 or so minutes and set it aside, and turned the oven up to 450*, and left the eggplants cooking for 20 or so more minutes. I took them out and let them cool for about 5 minutes. I would recommend waiting longer, but I am too impatient! I cut off the stem part about an inch down, and peeled the skins off. I then cut the eggplants into chunks, about 1 1/2 inch cubes. I put them in the blender with the garlic, sesame seeds, and lemon juice. Blend! Pay attention, and use a lower setting, so you don't blend it too fine. Taste it, and add salt to your preference.It's good when it's warm, but I definitely think it's best after chillin. The flavors mix and all that. Yummy with fresh veggies, or as a spread on a sandwich, or I would bet it goes well with Wasa crispbread. this dish is . . . .vegan!low in fat and caloriesnot great for date night (hello garlic breath!)kind of ugly (not gonna lie, looks like baby food)easy to makepretty inexpensive!Number of Servings: 1Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BRANDIWINE84.
