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
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer or oven to 350℉.
- 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!
- 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.
- Meanwhile, toss your white beans, lemon juice, tahini, salt, and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
- 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.
- 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!
