Thanksgiving Side Series Ep. 1  Follow @kalejunkie for more recipes!⁣ SMASHED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH LEMON-TAHINI DIPPING SAUCE, there is only one word to describe this dish: INSANITY 🤯🤯!⁣
⁣
Make sure to SAVE this post!⁣
⁣
Makes 6-8 servings⁣
2 pounds brussels sprouts⁣
2 tablespoons olive oil⁣
⁣
Lemon-Tahini Dipping Sauce⁣
¼ cup lemon juice⁣
⅓ cup olive oil⁣
3 tablespoons tahini⁣
2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)⁣
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar⁣
1 clove garlic mashed⁣
1 teaspoon sea salt⁣
1 teaspoon black pepper⁣
[1/4 cup water, optional, if sauce is too thick]⁣
⁣
Wash brussels sprouts and cut off stems. It’s ok if some of the leaves come off, just set those aside. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the brussels sprouts for 15 minutes. Pop in an ice bath for about 5-10 minutes, until they have cooled. Drain the brussels sprouts. Next, preheat oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on the baking sheet. Take the back of a glass or a plate and smash each brussel sprout, about 1/2 inch thick. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Place the tray in the oven for 35 minutes, flipping at the half way point. While the brussels are cooking in the oven, prepare the lemon-tahini dipping sauce. Add all of the dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor, and blend/process everything together until creamy. Remove the cover and taste, adjusting the seasonings as needed. Once the brussels come out of the oven, you can drizzle the sauce on top, or plate the brussels and dip them into the sauce. These are best served immediately while the Brussels are nice and crispy. ENJOY!⁣
