Halved Brussels sprouts roast at high heat until their edges char and crisp, then get drizzled with a creamy lemon-tahini sauce. The combination of caramelized sprouts and tangy sesame sauce makes a simple side that works alongside grain bowls, roasted proteins, or a holiday spread.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons water, or as needed
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper on the baking sheet, arranging them cut-side down.
-
Roast until the cut sides are deeply browned and the leaves are crisp, 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
-
While the sprouts roast, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and garlic in a small bowl.
-
Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until the tahini sauce is smooth and drizzle-able.
