This creamy garlicky Roasted Eggplant Dip is easy to make, packed with flavor, and always a hit! It has lots of roasted eggplant, roasted garlic, creamy yogurt, fresh herbs, and spices. Try it as an appetizer topped with toasted pine nuts and served with a toasted baguette!
The perfect appetizer - Dips are the best appetizers to make too because they're very low maintenance and very DIY. Whether it's a party, a game night, or a Friday afternoon, you can just serve a few dips with chips, crackers or dips and people can just help themselves to whatever they wanna eat.
Creamy and flavorful - Greek yogurt makes this dip super creamy and gives it a slight tang. Choose full-fat greek yogurt
Fresh herbs - Flat-leaf parsley, dill, and chives are the perfect trio for this recipe but you can use any of the three you have on hand. Fresh herbs will definitely give the dip much more flavor than dried herbs but you can use those too if necessary.
Add heat - You can add chili flakes chili or fresh chili peppers to up the heat of this dip to your preference.
You can serve the dip as is or add any toppings of your choice. I highly recommend these:
Toasted pine nuts - Toast in a skillet for a few minutes.
Finely chopped fresh herbs - Parsley, dill, or chives are all great! Crumbled feta, cheese goes perfectly with eggplant. Extra virgin olive oil - You could also use toasted sesame oil if you don't have olive.
