Ingredients

1 lb brussels sprouts, halved
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the brussels sprouts on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine and spread out in an even layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the brussels sprouts are golden brown and tender.

While the brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and water until smooth. Set aside.

Once the brussels sprouts are finished roasting, add the chickpeas to the baking sheet and toss to combine. Roast for an additional 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the chickpeas are lightly browned and crispy.

Divide the roasted brussels sprouts and chickpeas between two bowls. Serve with the tahini-lemon sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
