Cut off the ends of zucchinis and onion and then cut them in half.
Coat lightly in olive oil and place on a hot grill. Grill until soft, flipping as needed to cook evenly. Grilling the veggies isn’t technically necessary (you can just sauté them instead), but it adds smokiness and depth of flavor that really make the dish.
Let the veggies cool then add to a food processor with the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
Garnish with more smoked paprika, if desired, and serve with sliced cucumbers, carrots, crackers, or pita bread.
Store leftover baba ganoush in a covered container in the refrigerator.
