Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the shredded Brussel sprouts and red onion with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the vegetables are lightly coated with oil, tip onto the prepared baking sheet, and spread out into a single, even layer. Do not crowd. Season with salt and pepper.
Roast for about 10 minutes, or until the Brussel sprouts are soft and lightly browned.
Meanwhile in bowl of a food processor, puree cannellini beans, tahini, cumin, lemon juice, and zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place pita on a baking sheet and warm slightly in oven. Remove and spread a portion of the bean spread onto each pita and top with a portion of the shredded Brussel sprouts. Drizzle with any remaining olive oil.
Cut each pita into four slices and serve.

Chef Tips

This recipe uses tahini, which is made of roasted sesame seeds. Although not a tree nut, some of us with nut allergies can have a reaction to sesame. If in doubt, use 3 tablespoons of sunflower seed butter mixed with 1 tablespoon of olive oil instead.
