¼ red onion, finely diced
¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pierce each eggplant several times with a fork, then place them directly on a baking sheet. Roast for 40–45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the skin is charred and collapsed and the flesh feels completely soft when pressed.
2
While the eggplants roast, make the hummus. Combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and cumin in a food processor. Process for 1 minute, then, with the machine running, drizzle in ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until the hummus is smooth and creamy, about 3–4 minutes total. Season with salt, then transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
