Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Lemon Tahini Dressing and Crispy Fried Onions

This evening for dinner we are having Brussels sprouts, which we haven’t had in a while. Typically, we eat them more in the Fall and Winter and prepare them with pancetta and shallots with a balsamic glaze.

I decided to do something a little different with this batch. I clean and slice the Brussels sprouts and then roast in olive oil, salt and pepper at 400 degrees for about 30-45 minutes or until fork tender.

While they are roasting, I make a Lemon Tahini dressing. It super simple to make.

I start by grating one clove of garlic on a microplane.

I then whisk 4 teaspoons of tahini,

2 teaspoons of olive oil,

I lemon juiced,

1 teaspoon of monkfruit sweetener, a dash of salt and 2 teaspoons of water.

Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, I toss them in the dressing and add crispy fried onions.

Simple Truth makes some that are super tasty and only have 3 grams of carbs for 2 tablespoons.

These are great warm, but also just as tasty served at room temperature. It’s a different approach to Brussels Sprouts that feel a little more like Summertime to me. I hope you enjoy!
