Large baking sheet
Small mixing bowl
- 1 lb. Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. cracked black pepper
- 2 Tbsp. tahini
- 1/2 tsp. lemon zest plus 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
- 2 pitted Medjool dates finely chopped
Preheat oven to 450°F.Toss Brussels sprouts in oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. black pepper; arrange cut side-down on a large baking sheet, avoiding any overlap.Roast for 15 minutes, until golden-brown. Transfer to a bowl or serving platter. Combine tahini, lemon zest and juice, thyme, and a pinch of salt and black pepper in a glass jar or mixing bowl; mix well. Gradually whisk in 2 Tbsp. cold water, until dressing is creamy and pourable.
Drizzle tahini sauce over Brussels sprouts, and scatter chopped dates evenly overtop. Finish with a few grinds of black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
- To Make Ahead: Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts up to 1 day in advance. Refrigerate them in an airtight storage container until you’re ready to roast. You can also mix the tahini sauce 1 to 2 days in advance.
- To Store. Transfer roasted Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Store tahini sauce separately, if possible. (You can mix the sauce and dates together.)
- To Reheat. The best way to reheat roasted Brussels sprouts is in the oven. Add leftover Brussels sprouts to a lightly greased baking sheet, and warm for 10 minutes in a 350ºF oven. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the air fryer, or in the microwave, however the texture will be softer than if they are reheated in the oven.
