Description
A zesty and healthy low-carb dish featuring shaved Brussels sprouts tossed in a creamy lemon-tahini dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly shaved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water (more if needed)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or sugar substitute for lower carbs)
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/4 cup toasted almonds, chopped (for garnish)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the shaved Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the lemon-tahini dressing. In a bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, minced garlic, maple syrup, and smoked paprika (if using) until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, add more water, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the roasted Brussels sprouts with the lemon-tahini dressing. Toss until the sprouts are well coated.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped toasted almonds and fresh parsley.
