- 1 ½ lb Brussels sprouts
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 14 ounce can of chickpeas, drained and dried well
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- A good pinch of sea salt

- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 anchovies, chopped to a paste
- 2 cloves garlic, grated on a Microplane or very finely minced
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
- Toss the chickpeas with ½ teaspoon of olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and sea salt and place them on one of the prepared baking sheets. Roast them in the oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are mostly dry. They will continue to dry and crisp as they cool.14 ounce can of chickpeas, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, A good pinch of sea salt
- Cut half the Brussels sprouts in half. Shave the rest of the Brussels by cutting them in half, laying the flat sides down, and then thinly slicing them. Set aside 1 cup of the shaved Brussels. Add all the Brussels, except the ones you've set aside, to the other prepared tray, drizzle them with the remaining 1 ½ teaspoons of oil, and sprinkle sea salt on top. Use your hands to mix the Brussels around so that each piece is covered in oil. Bake the Brussels for 25 minutes, mixing halfway. Don't wait for the chickpeas to come out of the oven. Bake the Brussels and the chickpeas at the same time.1 ½ lb Brussels sprouts, A good pinch of sea salt
