Warm Brussels Sprouts Caesar Salad (with Caesar Dressing)

• 份量: 4 servings

配料

2 pounds Brussels sprouts (trimmed and sliced ¼-inch thick*)

¼ cup unrefined cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

6 Tablespoons mayonnaise (I like soy-free Vegenaise or raw cashew butter or tahini)

2 Tablespoons water

Juice from 1 lemon

½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 large clove garlic or 2 medium garlic cloves (minced)

1 Tablespoon capers (drained)

1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

⅛ teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)

Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

3 Tablespoons unrefined cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil

Toasted Breadcrumbs:

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter or plant butter

2 Tablespoons unrefined cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (you can use gluten-free crumbs if necessary)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Sea salt as needed (depending on how salty the breadcrumbs are)

4 ounces Parmesan (shaved or grated (Use vegan Parmesan if desired)

步骤

Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees or 375 F convection.

Line two half sheet pans with unbleached parchment paper.

Arrange brussels sprouts on the prepared sheet pans. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper and spread sprouts in an even layer. Roast in the oven for 18 minutes, stirring halfway. They will shrink! Cool just slightly.

In the meantime, make the dressing by blending all dressing ingredients in a blender until smooth. Taste for seasoning and set aside.

In a large skillet, over medium-low heat, add the butter and the oil. Once the butter is melted, add the breadcrumbs and stir until golden, about 4-5 minutes. Don’t leave the stove. The breadcrumbs can burn easily! Stir in the garlic powder and taste for salt. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a paper towel-lined plate. This will help absorb any excess oil and will allow the breadcrumbs to crisp up as they cool. Once cool, breadcrumbs can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Toss brussels sprouts with the dressing and sprinkle with toasted breadcrumbs and shaved parmesan.
