How to Make Eggplant Dip

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Chop 1 large eggplant, 1 red bell pepper, and 1 medium onion into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Roast for 45 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, transfer the roasted vegetables to a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and pulse until you reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
