Ingredients

  • 1 (1 1/2-pound) eggplant or 3 Japanese eggplants, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • Olive oil, for drizzling, plus 1/3 cup
  • Kosher salt, for seasoning, plus 1/2 teaspoon
  • Freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning, plus 1/4 teaspoon
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 hothouse cucumber, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place an oven rack in the middle.

Place the eggplant on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Set aside to cool.

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the cooled eggplant, beans, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped. With the machine running, gradually add 1/3 cup of olive oil until the mixture is creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Place the hummus in a dipping bowl and serve with the cucumber slices. Alternatively, spoon the hummus over the cucumber slices and arrange on a serving platter.

    Delicious and easy to prepare...except for the fact that I do not own a food processor (yet that being the most difficult part! I had to add water and more oil to get the blender to ***** down and blend the ingredients....As for the taste, I have yet to fix anything from Giada that I have not loved!!! Very tastee and next time I may even roast the garlic! Another winner, thanks Giada! I am sure my guesses will love it!

    Delicious and easy to make! I don't have a food processor, but I do have a Magic Bullet, so I had to blend in 3 batches, but it still turned out great! It's a great dip for veggies and pita chips
