Baba ghanoush has a Mediterranean origin and is similar to hummus but is made with grilled/ roasted eggplant instead of chickpeas. Its literal name means “spoiled dad” because it is such a delectable dish you will feel quite spoiled when having it.

Not only is this dish super easy to make but it’s super versatile. You can use it as an appetizer, a side, a dip, or a spread.
