Baba Ganoush is a tasty Middle Eastern dip made with baked eggplants (aka aubergines), garlic, lemon juice and spices. It's naturally low in carbs and is a good source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and potassium - just perfect for a keto diet!

There are several ways you can prepare the eggplants. I used the char & bake method, because it's easy and requires minimum hands-on time. If you are having a garden barbecue, you can grill them over an open flame for extra smokiness.

Martina Slajerova Creator of KetoDietApp.com I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid.
