Smokey Air Fryer Baba Ganoush

Gather round for a delightful twist on a classic Middle Eastern dip—Smokey Air Fryer Baba Ganoush. This creamy, smoky concoction is a perfect accompaniment to warm pita bread or crunchy vegetable sticks. Begin by air frying a couple of medium-sized aubergines until their skins are wonderfully charred and the insides are tender, which typically takes about 20 minutes at a high temperature.

Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the velvety flesh and combine it in a mixing bowl with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. A touch of cumin adds an aromatic depth, while a sprinkle of smoked paprika brings that signature smoky flavour. Blend it all together until smooth, adjusting the seasoning to taste.

Serve your Baba Ganoush in a rustic bowl, generously drizzled with olive oil and garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds for a burst of colour. This smoky delight is sure to impress, offering a sophisticated yet simple taste that’s perfect for any gathering. Enjoy!
