Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, arranging them cut side up.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine oil-packed anchovy fillets and minced garlic with kosher salt. Mash into a smooth paste, then add tahini, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Whisk until creamy.
  3. Place Brussels sprouts cut side down on a baking sheet, cover with foil, and roast for 12–15 minutes. Remove the foil and roast for another 10–15 minutes until browned and crisp.
  4. Prepare croutons by cutting bread into cubes, tossing with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake on a baking sheet for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Remove roasted Brussels sprouts from the oven and toss with tahini dressing in a large bowl. Add croutons and sunflower seeds, then serve warm.
