Maybe I should call this “Baba Ghanoush Hummus 2.0“! The whole “roasted eggplant” thing is happening again. This time, we’re taking the Indian route. Tons of turmeric, curry powder, garam masala, you get the idea! Roasted eggplant really is the secret to ultra creamy dips and dishes without the “cream”. People either love or hate eggplant, but when it’s roasted and blended, there’s no way not to love it (you really don’t even “know” it’s there!)

I don’t hate any fruit or veggie. I don’t care, I’m just grateful for them all! Now, they don’t all love me, but we’re learned how to have a mutually beneficial relationship at times and in smaller amounts (like mushrooms!). But if I could just open my fridge and have an endless supply of ALL the produce, I’d be more than content! I’d never let any of it go to waste becasue when you end up with some sad “close-to-dieing” produce, you can just cut it up and throw it in some hummus! Haha!

Along with spices and herbs of course! Then not only are you “healing” dieing produce, but you’re also able to heal your tummy and insides! You can heal your soul! Channeling our ultimate healing cuisine, Indian! I’m pretty sure all Indian dishes end up being so super healthful and helpful to the body with all the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, aromatic, healing herbs and spices! So let’s throw all that in the blender and make a perfect dip, condiment, spread, or snack for everyday use or all those gatherings we have during this season of the year!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F to roast the eggplant. Cut the eggplant lengthwise in half, then slice diagonal slits in the flesh for easy scooping once roasted. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool before scooping out the flesh (about 1 cup).
  2. In a large food processor, combine the roasted eggplant flesh, chickpeas, spices, and lemon. Blend until smooth, adding a few tablespoons of water as needed to keep things moving.
  3. Store the hummus in a closed container in the fridge for about 1 week or freeze measured out amounts in plastic baggies for easy use to defrost as needed!

Doesn’t the color just make you happy? Of course, it does! Nice and easy, creamy and dreamy, healing and nourishing! PLUS, secretly veggie-packed! I think we have ourselves a hummus win! What do you think? No dissing eggplant here. You could fool anyone, even yourself. When something tastes so good and so creamy, you’ll find it hard to stop dipping into the bowl!

So tell me:

+ Be honest, is there really a fruit or veggie you just despise, can’t stand what-so-ever? No!

+ What do you wish your fridge was packed with a never-ending supply of?

    “Maybe I should call this “Baba Ghanoush Hummus 2.0“! Haha before reading this, I was thinking it should be called baba ghanoush hummus 😉 I’m not a huge eggplant fan (I guess they are like your mushroom – which btw are my FAV!), but infused with all of the wonderful spices, I can totally dig this.

    I can’t stand papaya, haha. That’s about all in the fruit world. I wish my fridge were packed with a never-ending supply of basically all the other fruits though (as long as they stayed fresh forever! ;P ).

    I used to not like eggplant, but apparently it was just in the way that it was prepared in a certain dish–so glad I saw the light, because this looks + sounds amazing!

    I love hummus, I have made loads of different flavours including peanut butter, pumpkin or avocado but never thought of adding turmeric…my all time favorite spice! Love the sound of this one xx

    I love Indian food, and this recipe looks wonderful. My previous mother-in-law often visited from India, and she shared so many special recipes with me. She had a particular red lentil soup (dhal) she would make whenever one of us was feeling a little under the weather. The spices are so good for you and warming too!

    I make this dish a lot and I add turmeric in everything I cook. Well, I’m Indian.., so, what to expect! But I like the way yours came out – so vibrant yellow. I make mine spicier but yours look equally tempting.
