- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Poke holes in the eggplants with a fork and arrange them on a baking sheet.
- Roast the eggplants for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is charred and the insides are tender.
- Allow the roasted eggplants to cool slightly, then scoop the soft flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Add tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to the eggplant in the bowl.
- Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350°F for the olive crisps.
- In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, Parmesan cheese, chopped olives, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until a cohesive dough forms.
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut into preferred shapes and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the crisps for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the crisps to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Plate the eggplant delight, drizzle with olive oil, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with the savory olive crisps.
