Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pierce the eggplants with a fork and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft.
Let the eggplants cool for 10 minutes, then slice open and scoop out the flesh into a colander.
Allow excess liquid to drain for 5 minutes (this prevents a watery dip).
In a food processor, combine eggplant flesh, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt.
Pulse until smooth (or leave slightly chunky if preferred).
Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with extra paprika and parsley.
Serve with warm pita bread, crackers, or fresh veggies.
