    To go along with our Keto Pita Chips we figured we needed a delicious Keto Baba Ganoush to scoop up and man, this one is perfect.

    We're all for delicious dips and to up the flavors, we start by charring the eggplant and the serrano peppers under the broiler until the skin is charred and the inner eggplant is tender. Then we chop that all up and mix with garlic, cumin, lemon, cayenne pepper, and tahini.

    The result is a rich and delicious dip that’s perfect for the keto diet. With only 4.5g net carbs per serving and over 80% fat is perfect for low-carb / high-fat macros.

    How to serve Keto Baba Ganoush:

    • This dip is also delicious served alongside grilled chicken or tempeh
    • Or how about a salad with fresh greens, grilled chicken with an herbed sauce, avocado, sesame seeds and a piece of low-carb pita bread? Yeah, that sounds awesome!
    • Serve it up with sliced cucumbers
    • Tucked into pita bread with thinly shaved meat or tofu, pickled onions, greens, and herbs
    • Scooped up with Keto Pita Chips

    However you decide to serve this tasty dip we can guarantee you're going to love it!

      No Mention of where we include the tahini. Also I’m using a 12 inch pan but still barely any room for this much eggplant
      I feel like maybe I am missing a second page to the recipe?

      Tahini is just mixed in with everything else. I make my baba ghanoush with the eggplant, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, a little olive oil and maybe a little salt.

      I don't measure, though.
