Toasted sesame seeds can often be found in the Asian sections of some supermarkets, sometimes labeled Gomasio. If ever there was a time of year to keep a big jar of them on hand, pre-toasted and ready to go, this is it. They are the perfect crunchy topper for everything from salads to soups and roasted vegetables.

Ingredients

2 servings

½ pound brussels sprouts
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
2 small heads of broccoli (about 1 pound total), cut into large florets
1 14-ounce block firm tofu, drained well, torn into bite-size pieces
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon Aleppo-style pepper or other mild red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
⅓ cup green olives, pitted, coarsely chopped
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
½ cup hemp seeds
2汤匙白味噌
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, plus more for serving
Crushed toasted almonds and/or parsley leaves with tender stems (for serving)

Special Equipment

A spice mill or mortar and pestle
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425◦. Cut off stems from brussels sprouts; discard. Place outer leaves on a large rimmed baking sheet. Finely slice inner brussels sprout cores and transfer to a medium bowl. Coarsely grind coriander seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.

    Step 2

    Add broccoli and tofu to baking sheet with outer sprout leaves. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil, add crushed coriander and pepper, and toss to combine; season with salt. Roast, tossing once halfway through, until broccoli is browned (even lightly charred in a few spots) and tender, 30–35 minutes. Let cool.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, add olives, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1 Tbsp. lemon juice to sliced brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Season with salt.

    Step 4

    Purée hemp seeds, miso, 2 tsp. sesame seeds, remaining 5 Tbsp. lemon juice and 2 Tbsp. oil, and ¼ cup water in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.

    Step 5

    Spread some dressing on bowls or plates. Toss roasted vegetables with sliced brussels sprouts and arrange over dressing. Top with sesame seeds, almonds, and parsley.
