Chef's Notes
Make perfect Brussels sprouts
Blanch the Brussels sprouts before baking. After washing and cutting, place the sprouts in boiling water for 3–5 minutes, then strain and place them in an ice bath for 60 seconds. This is not a necessary step, but in my opinion, I think it makes the Brussels sprouts perfectly cooked and moist on the inside and a bit crispy on the outside.
Make it spicy
If you love spicy, add some Sriracha or red pepper flakes for a little kick and a perfect complement to the tahini.
Make it more delicious and nutritious
Brighten the final dish up a little more with an extra squeeze of lime!
Chop kimchi and mix in this dish for added flavor and probiotic goodness.
Want some more protein and/or whole food fats? Add a handful of cashews or peanuts.
Cilantro lovers rejoice — it goes perfectly with these flavors. Add as much as you’d like!
Sliced green onion is also a great topper.
