For an even smokier flavor, roast the eggplant directly over an open flame on your stovetop until the skin is completely blackened, turning occasionally. If you don't have red pepper flakes, a pinch of cayenne pepper works well as a substitute. Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, lemon juice, and tahini to suit your personal preferences. Taste and adjust as you go! Baba Ghanoush can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
