I love hummus. It's a healthy snack with chickpeas. If you're a lover eggplant and chickpeas, then you're going to love the fresh roasted garlic infused in this recipe. I really love to eat this dip with carrots, pita chips or low carb wheat crackers. Of course, use whatever vegetables you like or crackers. The sweetness of the carrots, brings out the flavors perfectly. Since I am not a fan of celery, which is the usual go to vegetable you often will see on the plates to use, for a dipping suggestion.
Eggplant Hummus with Roasted Garlic Pin it for later
A healthy dip that is addicting with a nice change of using eggplant roasted with garlic. Just know it's addicting, so make a double batch! It's so Delicious!
I don't know what I love more the roasted garlic or the eggplant taste in this dip. Both compliment each other so well. The best part is the creaminess and texture. It's perfect. I really love how the eggplant cooks inside and so soft.

ReplyDeleteWOW- we are on the SAME PAGE! I made this exact thing today for lunch. Well, my recipe was a bit different from yours, but same concept (combining baba ganoush and hummus). Too funny.
ReplyDeleteThis version looks great- I'll have to try it with the paprika and tahini.
I'll be posting my recipe in a day or two if you want to check it out.
Thanks for the post!

ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of adding garbanzos... (See mine here: http://pccuisine.com/baba-ghanoush-eggplant-recipes.html )
ReplyDeleteI love how you can pop a whole eggplant in the oven, and it easily turns that flesh into a silky, heavenly vehicle for spreads and dips!
Thanks for your post :)
