This smokey dip has a wonderful combination of flavors! Slow roasting the whole eggplant gives it a really great flavor and a fantastic base for this dip. It looks chunky but it's actually very smooth in the mouth – oh and this is one of those recipes where although it is gorgeous when served warm, the flavors get even better if you leave it until the next day!

How to Make Low Carb Roasted Eggplant Dip

To roast the eggplant, poke holes all over it with a fork. Place it on a baking tray and roast in a preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let it cool slightly then slice it open. Using a spoon, scoop out the eggplant flesh and place it in a food processor.

To the food processor, add chopped red onion, garlic paste, plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ground coriander, dried mint and liquid smoke. Liquid smoke is an amazing all-natural sauce that adds a deep smokey flavor.

Blend everything until as smooth as possible. Taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper if necessary. You might like to add more lemon juice or mint if it needs more “pop”. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve with jicama, cucumber sticks, homemade tortilla chips, or (as shown below), low carb crackers (these are Thinables – and you can buy them from Amazon).
