BUTTER DRESSING

3. Ingredients List
1 pound fresh, uncooked Brussels
sprouts, trimmed and cut in half (or cut
into quarters, if they’re large)
Olive oil
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp mustard powder
Salt and pepper
¼ cup Ezra Cohen Montreal All-Natural
Almond Butter
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp liquid aminos or soy sauce
2 tsp sambal oelek or Sriracha
(gojuchang would be delicious
here, too!)
2 tsp honey or maple syrup
¼ cup shredded carrots
¼ cup dried cherries
¼ cup toasted almonds,
chopped

4. Directions
1. Start by roasting your Brussels sprouts. Preheat your oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit and lay
trimmed and cut Brussels sprouts out on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Drizzle
with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion power, mustard powder, salt and pepper.
Mix to combine then spread out Brussels sprouts in an even layer. Make sure that they’re not
overlapping, since this will cause them to steam instead of roast. Roast until golden, about 18
to 20 minutes.
2. While your Brussels sprouts are roasting, make your spicy almond butter dressing. In a large
bowl, combine Ezra Cohen Montreal All-Natural Almond Butter with sesame oil, fresh lime
juice, liquid aminos or soy sauce, sambal oelek or other chili paste, and honey or maple syrup.
Whisk to combine and set aside.

5. Directions
3. Once your Brussels sprouts are tender and browned, transfer them to the large bowl
with your spicy almond butter dressing and stir to coat. Then toss in your shredded
carrots, dried cherries, and toasted almonds. (Hint: toast your almonds whole in a dry
skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, then chop.)
Want to mix it up? There are lots of inventive ways to make this recipe all your own,
including swapping out Brussels sprouts for another veggie such as beets, broccoli, or
cauliflower (just adjust the roasting temperature and time as needed). You can also
opt for different mix-ins, such as dried cranberries or pineapple instead of cherries, or
toasted pecans or walnuts instead of almonds.
