When they are all wrinkled and totally soft they are roasted enough. When they are cool, slice in halves & scoop out the insides of each one and mash well. If you have a food processor you can use it. Combine with all of the other ingredients except the olive oil. Place in serving dish & cover with plastic wrap. Chill completely. Drizzle olive oil & sesame seeds over top before serving.
