FAQs
Can I make Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Tangy Tahini Caesar Dressing ahead of time?
Yes – roast the sprouts and store them separately from the dressing. Assemble just before serving to keep the texture perfect.
What’s the best substitute for Parmesan cheese?
Nutritional yeast or a dairy‑free parmesan blend works well for a vegan version.
How do I store leftovers?
Keep the sprouts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The dressing stays fresh in a small jar for the same period.
Why did my sprouts turn out soggy?
Overcrowding the pan traps steam. Use a rimmed sheet and give each piece space, or roast on two sheets.
