Place the eggplant on the prepared baking sheet and poke holes in the skin with a fork. Roast in the preheated oven, turning now and then, until very soft and tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Let the eggplant cool until it is easy to handle; cut it in half and scoop the flesh into a colander or fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl; let it drain for 5 minutes.

Put the eggplant, lemon juice, tahini, sesame seeds, and garlic in a blender, and puree. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer the eggplant mixture to a medium mixing bowl and slowly stir in the olive oil. Refrigerate the baba ghanoush until fully chilled before serving.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
