Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 2 heaping cups of raw Brussels sprouts
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (plus more for topping)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with a non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, warm water, olive oil, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, and salt until you achieve a smooth and creamy sauce.
- Toss Brussels Sprouts: Place the raw Brussels sprouts in a medium-sized bowl, pour the tahini sauce over them, and toss well to ensure all pieces are nearly completely coated with the sauce.
- Arrange and Roast: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle additional nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper on top to enhance flavor.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, turning the sprouts halfway through to ensure they roast evenly and develop a light brown color.
- Serve: Once lightly browned and tender, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and serve warm as a tasty and nutritious side dish.
Notes
- Ensure the Brussels sprouts are cut evenly for uniform roasting if halved or quartered.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and lemon juice for brightness.
- Additional nutritional yeast on top adds a cheesy, umami flavor enhancing the vegan dish.
- Can be served as a side dish or a healthy snack.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
