Hummus with Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Step 1

Turn on the food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop the garlic down the feed tube; process until it's minced. Add the rest of the ingredients (through olive oil) to the food processor and process until the hummus is coarsely pureed. Taste, for seasoning.

Step 2

Adjust seasonings and add more reserved chickpea liquid if you want a smoother texture.

Step 3

Pour mixture into a bowl.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Quarter the brussels sprouts and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place brussels sprouts on a sheet pan and roast for 15 or 20 minutes. Or until they're starting to turn brown in places. Tossing once for even cooking.

Step 5

To serve make a pattern with the handle of a spoon in the hummus. Drizzle the chile oil in the indentation. Top with the roasted brussels sprouts.

Step 6

Serve with Naan or pita wedges, fresh veggies like sliced cucumbers, carrots and celery.
