Ingredients

• 1 large eggplant
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon tahini (optional)
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by preheating your Blackstone grill to medium heat. This will help the eggplant cook evenly.
2. While the grill is heating, wash the eggplant and slice it in half lengthwise.
3. Brush the cut sides with olive oil, making sure to coat them well.
4. Place the eggplant halves cut-side down on the grill. Close the lid and let them cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the flesh is soft and slightly charred.
5. Once cooked, remove the eggplant from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes.
6. Scoop out the soft flesh from the skin and place it in a bowl.
7. Add the lemon juice, minced garlic, tahini (if using), salt, and pepper to the bowl.
8. Use a fork to mash everything together until it reaches your desired consistency. You can make it smooth or leave it a bit chunky, depending on your preference.
9. Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if needed.
10. Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley.
11. Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.

13. Make sure to let the eggplant cool slightly before scooping out the flesh to avoid burns. If you want a creamier texture, feel free to add a bit more tahini or olive oil. This dip can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
