We have used the skins discarded from the baba ganoush to make crispy chips and so there's no waste!

Similar to hummus but made with delicious roasted eggplant instead of chickpeas - serve with pita bread, raw veggies, veggie chips or in a mezze style spread.
Start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees celsius, fan bake.
Brush the cut sides of the eggplant with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; place them onto a lined roasting tray, cut side down. Roast for 35 - 40 minutes or until the flesh is very tender.
Once the eggplant has cooked, allow it to cool before scooping out the flesh with a spoon (leave the skin behind, but do not discard).
Place the eggplant flesh into a bowl along with garlic and lemon juice. Stir well with a fork, until the eggplant breaks down into the consistency of mashed banana. Add the tahini and olive oil; stir until the mixture is pale and creamy. Then add the parsley and cumin - season generously with salt.
Cut the eggplant skins into ‘chip’ size pieces, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Roast for 15 - 20 minutes or until crispy.
