Equipment
- Air-fryer
- Food processor or blender
- Mixing bowl
- Cutting board

Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
- Pierce the eggplant a few times with a fork and place it in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Let it cool for a few minutes before handling.
- Scoop the roasted eggplant into a blender or food processor. Add tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt, blending until smooth and creamy.
