The main ingredient in any Roasted Eggplant Dip is roasted or charred eggplant. Some of the other ingredients found in baba ganoush include garlic, tahini paste, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Some recipes call for cumin, although as mentioned in other posts, I don't particularly like cumin, so I usually leave it out. Roasted Eggplant Dip is frequently garnished with parsley and olive oil. Other garnish ideas include roasted pine nuts, pomegranate seeds, and paprika.
