Equipment

1 Food processor
1 serving plate or shallow bowl

Ingredients

For the Hummus:

15 ounce can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove
2 Tbsp olive oil
1-2 Tbsp tahini sesame paste
1/2 juice lemon fresh (more if desired to taste)
1 pinch Kosher salt to taste
2-3 Tbsp water add as needed until you get the desired smooth texture

For the Brussels Sprouts:

10 ounce bag of shredded Brussels sprouts
1 Tbsp avocado oil
Pinch Kosher salt

Toppings:

2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds roasted and lightly salted
2 Tbsp pomegranate arils

Instructions

For the Hummus:

Place all the hummus ingredients in a food processor and process on high until the mixture is creamy. If the mixture is dry, add more water and continue to blend. Scrape down the sides.
Taste the hummus to make sure it has enough salt and lemon. Adjust to taste. Set aside.

For the Brussels Sprouts:

Combine the shredded Brussels sprouts, oil, and salt in a bowl. Use your hands to massage the leaves and oil, ensuring the Brussels sprouts are lightly coated all over.
Place the Brussels sprouts in an air fryer basket and cook at 375º F for 10-11 minutes, shaking the basket 2-3 times throughout the cooking process. If you don't have an air fryer, you can roast them on a baking sheet in the oven at 400º F for 10-20 minutes, mixing them 1-2 times during the cooking term.
The Brussels sprouts are ready when they develop that coveted golden brown color and crispiness. Some of the shreds might even look a little charred. Set aside to cool.

Assemble the Dip:

To assemble the dip, layer each ingredient on top of one another on a plate or bowl with shallow sides:
Layer #1: Spread the hummus in an even layer on the plate or bowl.
Layer #2: Top the hummus with the crispy Brussels sprouts.
Layer #3: Sprinkle the mixture with 2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds.
Layer #4: Top everything with 2 tablespoons of pomegranate ariels.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
