Egyptian roast Brussel sprouts with honey and dukkha

Just like roasted cabbage, Brussel sprouts have found a new groove and are loved when roasted. They are a good source of fibre and feel-good nutrients that support your digestion and brain. They are on the bitter side so some sweetness from the honey and served with the creamy hummus and crunchy Dukkha brings together an elegant side dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 24 small Brussels, trimmed and scored with a cross on the bottom to help cook through evenly
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp honey (I use golden syrup)
  • 2-4 tbsp dukkha (vary amount to taste, I use 1-2tbsp)
  • Bed of hummus (or Kay uses Pilpel brand)

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced or 200°C conventional.

Heat oil in medium baking tray. Add sprouts, season, and roast for 25-35 mins, shaking tray occasionally, until they are tender and leaves curl back.

Remove from oven and drizzle with honey while sprouts are hot.

Toss, in half the dukkha.

Spread hummus on a serving plate, pile on sprouts, sprinkle with remaining dukkha and serve.
