- 1/2 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

- place eggplant on a foil-lined baking sheet
- spray a second piece of foil with nonstick cooking spray and wrap the head of garlic inside it
- place this on the baking sheet with the eggplant
- roast for about 50 minutes, turning the eggplant halfway through, until it is very soft and falling in upon itself
- allow the eggplant and garlic to cool
- meanwhile, heat grill to medium
- slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out of the skin
- spray each half lightly with cooking spray, and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, until charred
- transfer to a large bowl
- when the eggplant has cooled, slice it in half and scoop the flesh out of the skin
- drain any excess liquid
- roughly chop the eggplant, discarding the large clusters of seeds (it's ok if some seeds remain)
- place the eggplant in the bowl with the avocado
- squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins, and place these in the bowl as well
- using a potato masher or fork, mash the avocado, eggplant and garlic together until well combined and just slightly chunky
