Baba Ganoush Dip & Spread
Not only is it fun to say, but baba ganoush is fun to eat! We think aubergines are extremely underrated, especially since it boasts plentiful amounts of antioxidants and anthocyanins. Serve with flatbread, veggies, or as a spread; whichever way, you cannot go wrong.
Ingredients
| Large eggplant, ~1lb | 1 |
| Cooking spray | |
| Extra virgin olive oil | 1 T |

| Oregano, freshly chopped | 1 T |
| Parsley, freshly chopped | 1 T |

Instructions
- Preheat a grill or stove-top skillet to high.
