Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. Baba Ganoush, the creamy Mediterranean eggplant dip, has long been a favorite of mine. With the abundance of zucchini this time of the year, I put a little twist on the classic and integrated some roasted zucchini in. This bowl of yum is perfect for appetizers or a healthy afternoon snack. Of course you can dip fresh veggies in or pair it with my homemade Everything Bagel Spiced Pita Chips for a an even yummier treat.
Roasted Zucchini Baba Ganoush With Everything Bagel Spiced Pita Chips
The roasted Zucchini Baba Ganoush and the Everything Bagel Spiced Pita Chips are both so easy to make in advance and enjoy for days. I added in equal parts roasted zucchini with eggplant and some roasted garlic. Just place them all on the same sheet pan for about 20-30 min until soft. Throw everything into a food processor with some olive oil, a few spices and a dash of Harissa. Chill for about 30 min and you’ve got one delicious and filling dip. Football food anyone?
Tell me more about those Everything Bagel Spiced Pita Chips! I’ve been making homemade pita chips for years and they are so easy. Since I have been kind of obsessed with the TJ Everything Bagel Spice for a while, I wanted to try it out on the pita chips. So good! It’s hard to stop eating them. Use a pizza cutter to divide your pita into 8 slices. Take out that same sheet and add your whole wheat pita slices, coat them with cooking spray and/or olive oil. Generously sprinkle on that Everything Bagel Spice and bake them to a delicious crispy chip. Super easy and well worth it to make your own.
This Roasted Zucchini Baba Ganoush with Everything Bagel Spice Pita Chips is going to be my snack of choice this week. Hope it makes it to your “pin it” or “must try” list sometime soon.

I don’t love eggplant but I think I’d love this! Looks so tasty!
It does not taste super “eggplanty” the everyting bagel spiced pita are super addictive
such a great tip on using the EBTB seasoning on the pita chips! I always use it for my scrambled eggs but I’ll definitely try using is on homemade pita chips – thanks!
I use it on everything and the chips are beyond delish
I’ve never been an eggplant fan but this looks so good I may have to change my mind! I definitely want to try those homemade pita chips.
It does not taste super “eggplantish” the chips are addictively good
Yum! Wish my family would love this as much as I would. I’ve tried a few times. Do you know if it would freeze well? Last time I couldn’t eat it all and it went bad. 🙁
I have not tried to freeze it yet. Maybe make half of a batch
I’m not an eggplant person but since it’s thrown into a food processor I don’t think I’d get the texture of it. Will have to add this to my list for when we aren’t on super easy meals post moving haha.
It does not taste like eggplant really hope you all give it a try sometime
This looks phenomenal! Again!
I would probably prefer with hummus, but a good baba ganoush has its place, for sure!
Thanks hope you give it a try sometime
YUMMMMM!! Definitely pinning this! There’s a big football game this weekend, and we may need some snacks 😉
Snacks are the best part of football season!
