Preheat the oven to high broil and position a rack at the top of the oven.
Slice your eggplant into 1/4 inch rounds and season with salt.
Arrange the eggplant on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 5-10 minutes, turning once or twice, until the eggplant is softened and golden brown.
Add the eggplant to a food processor. Add the lemon juice, garlic, tahini, and season with salt and pepper. Puree until smooth. Add the cilantro and pulse to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve with pita and/or baked pita chips or fresh veggies. Will keep in the fridge for several days.
