Ingredients
  

Shaved Brussel Sprouts
  • 1 lb Brussel sprouts, cleaned
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
White Bean Hummus
  • 1 can cannelini or great northern beans
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup tahini, well-stirred
  • 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Toppings
  • 1 tsp flaky salt
  • 1 tbsp honey or balsamic glaze for vegan
  • lemon zest to taste
  • 1 tbsp finely grated parmesan or omit for vegan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer or oven to 350℉.
  2. Clean and peel your Brussel sprouts to separate all the leaves to get a crispier texture. This is the time-intensive part, but totally worth it!
  3. Toss in the oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and air fry for 8-10 minutes. If baking, bake for around 15 minutes, but check frequently for burning. You want the leaves blackened and crispy but not too burnt.
  4. Meanwhile, toss your white beans, lemon juice, tahini, salt, and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  5. Evenly spread the hummus on a serving plate. Top with crispy Brussel sprout leaves. Garnish with flaky salt, lemon zest, parmesan, and honey or balsamic if using.
  6. The hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, but the Brussels sprouts don't keep as well, so enjoy them fresh and crispy!
