Directions
Begin by preheating the oven to 450ºF.

Roast eggplant for about 35-40 minutes, until the cut side is tender.
Once cooked, remove the eggplant from the oven and allow it to cool. Once cool, flip the eggplant and scoop out the interior into a mesh strainer over a mixing bowl, and discard the skin.
In the strainer, pick out any excess eggplant skin and use the back of a spoon to push out excess moisture. Then, allow the eggplant to rest for a few minutes in the strainer, draining any additional moisture.
Empty out the bowl underneath the strainer and wipe it out. Then transfer the drained eggplant into the bowl. Mix in the garlic and lemon juice to the eggplant and stir with a fork or whisk until the eggplant is thoroughly combined and has softened.
Next, add the tahini and stir. While stirring, slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
Continue to stir until the mixture is pale and creamy, and use a fork to break up any leftover chunks of eggplant.
Season with salt and cumin. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired, such as more salt or lemon juice for a more tart dip.
