Courgette baba ganoush

Recipe by: Melanie Purnode | Freelancer recipe author

Our easy baba ganoush recipe goes well as a light and golden dip with unsalted nachos or as a side with fish or meat at a BBQ.

Ingredients

3 courgettes, cut into medium slices
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 cloves garlic, halved
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Spray oil
½ a lemon, juiced

Method

Preheat oven to 200^oC.
Place the courgette slices onto an ovenproof dish, sprinkle with the cumin seeds, garlic and pepper. Lightly coat with spray oil.
Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes or until lightly golden, stirring every 10 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from the oven, put into a food blender, and add the lemon juice. Blend all the ingredients for a few seconds until you get a nice dip-like consistency.

For a traditional baba ganoush use aubergines instead of courgettes
