Homemade Roasted Eggplant Hummus Recipe

When I was at Trader Joe’s last week I noticed that they sold eggplant hummus. I just happened to have excess eggplant from my garden and this seemed like a delicious way to use it up. I picked up some tahini sauce and decided to try my hand at making homemade roasted eggplant hummus.

I placed garlic cloves inside the eggplant when I roasted it. Then I added the roasted eggplant to cooked garbanzo beans to make the hummus. I was pleased with the results, though I must admit that I can’t really tell that there is eggplant in the dip.

Ingredients

  • 3 Japanese eggplants
  • 3 cloves garlic cut into slivers
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans or 1 – 15 oz. can drained
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup tahini sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon each of pepper cumin, ground coriander. onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place eggplants in a greased baking dish. Make slits in the eggplants and insert the garlic slivers. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until the eggplants are soft.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, beans, tahini, and spices. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped. Add 1/3 cup of olive oil and blend until the mixture is creamy.
  • Slice the eggplants in half and scoop out the eggplant and garlic. Add it to the bean mixture. Blend until creamy.

 

I serve hummus with crackers and sliced vegetables. If I have any leftover, I am going to make The Mommy Bowl’s easy 2 ingredient Hummus Crackers.

    Yum. This looks like Baba Gnoush. I think I spelled that wrong, but while I have never made it myself I LOVE it with a passion. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!

    Laura, I don't know if this tastes like TJ's eggplant hummus. Although they inspired this recipe, I have only bought their garlic hummus. You might want to add the spices at the end and tailor them to your preference.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
