Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts lengthwise.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the anchovy fillets and minced garlic with a pinch of kosher salt. Mash into a smooth paste, then add tahini, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. Whisk until creamy.
  3. Place the Brussels sprouts cut side down on a baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Roast for 12–15 minutes, then remove foil and roast for an additional 10–15 minutes until browned and crisp.
  4. Prepare croutons by tossing bread pieces with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes until golden.
  5. In a large bowl, toss roasted Brussels sprouts with the creamy tahini Caesar dressing. Add croutons and sunflower seeds, and serve warm.
