Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Halve eggplants lengthwise. Score the flesh in a crosshatch pattern.

  2. Step 2

    Place eggplant halves skin-side-down on a sheet pan. Broil 6 inches from heat until flesh blackens and collapses, 8–10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Cool 2 minutes. Scoop charred flesh into a blender or food processor.

  4. Step 4

    Add tahini, garlic, and juice of 1 lemon. Blend until completely smooth, scraping sides once.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and adjust lemon or salt as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl.

  6. Step 6

    Serve topped with a drizzle of olive oil, surrounded by shredded carrots and pita chips.
