    Perfectly caramelized Brussels sprouts are topped with a lemony garlic tahini sauce in this elegant yet fuss free side dish.

    A plate of roasted Brussels sprouts drizzled with lemon tahini sauce.

    Growing up, I absolutely hated Brussels sprouts.  Luckily, they only showed up on my plate a couple of times a year at family gatherings like Thanksgiving and Christmas.  As an adult, I now look forward to sprouts season and can't get enough of them.

    If you're not on the sprouts train yet, I would highly suggest this recipe as a way to introduce them into your diet. Roasting the sprouts brings out a bit of a sweetness to compliment the slightly bitter flavour, and the sauce is creamy lemon garlic perfection - in fact you will want to eat it on everything which is a good thing, because you will have tahini sauce leftover after drizzling the sprouts with it.

    Fun Fact: Did you know that Brussels Sprouts were grown on a stalk?!?!?

    I honestly didn't until just last year, but once I knew I was dying to get myself some Brussels sprouts fresh on the stalk.  As usual, our friends at Springh Farms did not disappoint -

    I picked up this beautiful stalk of sprouts at our local farmers market and set straight into roasting up these beauties.

    Although they look really cool on the stalk, the only benefit of buying them this way that I could think of would be that the sprouts are fresher when you purchase them.  Taking them off the stalk was quick enough - I just used a paring knife to pop them off one at a time.

    HOW TO MAKE BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH LEMON TAHINI SAUCE

    This dish honestly couldn't get any easier.  Besides making the food taste great, roasting is one of my favourite methods of preparation because it is pretty hands off - just pop a tray in and take it back out when the cooking time is complete.

    All you have to do is pre-heat your oven to 400℉, toss your sliced Brussels sprouts with some cooking oil, season, toss in the oven, and whisk together the sauce ingredients while your oven does all the work for you.

      I always think if we'd all had our brussels sprouts roasted/caramelized like this when we were kids we'd have loved them. I love the sauce in your recipe. Holidays or not, I'm in. 🙂

      That sauce sounds amazing! This makes my regular roasted brussels sprouts seem quite boring. Ha!

      I have recently started getting into brussels sprouts after disliking them for many years. This recipe is next on my list - they look delicious drizzled with the tahini sauce.

      I can usually find stalks of brussels sprouts at Trader Joe's around the holidays. It's my favorite way to buy them! Your sauce sounds like a great pairing with them!

      Thank you for this post. I’ve always believed that chicken had to be cooked to 180 using an instant read thermometer to be safe. Always dry. I do more grilling outdoors, but I’ll definitely have to look for one of those pans. Should be good for any type of meat.
