Vegan Brussels Sprouts Recipe with Tahini
Description
The Vegan Brussels Sprouts Recipe with Tahini combines fresh Brussels sprouts with a smooth dressing made from tahini, warm water, olive oil, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Tossed evenly in this sauce, the sprouts roast in the oven at 400°F until lightly browned and tender. This roasting method allows the outsides to caramelize while the dressing adds a nutty, slightly tangy, and savory flavor profile.
The tahini sauce binds the seasonings to the sprouts and offers creaminess without dairy. Nutritional yeast adds a subtle cheesy note, enhancing the savory complexity. This recipe is a fitting side dish for vegan or vegetarian meals, benefiting from the fine balance of roasted texture and creamy dressing.
For best results, use fresh, firm Brussels sprouts with trimmed ends and no wilted leaves. Lay sprouts with room between pieces on the baking sheet to avoid steaming, which preserves crispness. You can add extra nutritional yeast or adjust seasoning before roasting to suit taste preferences.
Ingredients
- 2 Brussels sprouts raw, heaping cups
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon water warm
- 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 the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick spray.
- In a small bowl, combine the tahini, water, oil, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, and salt and stir until a smooth sauce is formed.
- In a medium sized bowl, toss the brussels sprouts with the sauce until pieces are nearly completely covered.
- Lay the brussels sprouts out on the baking sheet and top with more nutritional yeast, salt and pepper. Next, place in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, turning over halfway through to ensure an even roast. Once lightly browned, remove from the oven.
Notes
- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts free of wilted leaves or brown ends for better texture and flavor.
- Wash and trim sprouts by removing dried ends and loose outer leaves before roasting.
- Arrange sprouts with space between them on the baking sheet to avoid steaming and encourage browning.
