This Keto Baba Ganoush (Charred Eggplant Dip) is a rich and delicious dip that’s perfect with sliced cucumbers or keto pita chips!

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 I 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.

One of our favorite salsas has always been the taqueria-style jalapeño sauce that’s sometimes served with street-style tacos at your local Mexican restaurant. It’s richer than a salsa fresca or pico de gallo and is super creamy from the cooked jalapeños. We love the richness of it and it goes so well with so many things.

These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally featured in our cookbook and now that Cast Iron Keto is focused on plant-based + low-carb recipes, we thought it deserved a permanent place on the website.⁠
⁠
If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠
⁠
The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠
