Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetable. Especially, now is summer I try to incorporate them in our everyday meals as much as I can. I love them grilled, roasted, on pasta, but because weekend is coming, I thought to transform a roasted eggplant into a dip. Here I am roasting a big firm eggplant in the oven. How do you roast an eggplant? Just wash well and poke into it with a fork. Then place the eggplant on a baking sheet and roast on 400 degree until nice and soft, and you will see that the fork goes through easily. Let it cool for a while. Cut through with a knife and pull out the eggplant pulp. My roasted eggplant went straight to a blender, and together with other ingredients became a beautiful dip. For the rest just check detailed instructions below.Enjoy!

  good question, I'm going to guess no, since it says pulp of the eggplant, but will be looking for the answer also :)

  Poke over eggplant with a fork and Just pop it in the oven at 400F for 50 minutes until the fork goes through very easily! Let it cool, cut and remove the pulp.

  cut small holes in the eggplant and insert peeled garlic cloves. Rub the entire eggplant with oil and bbq or oven bake until cooked.
