Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), and then wash your brussels sprouts. Dry them off thoroughly, to facilitate the bake-frying of the brussels, and then chop off the bottoms enough to be able to slice each sprout into 2 or 3 pieces.
Cut the remaining sprouts in halves or thirds, then put them with any stray leaves into a mixing bowl, and toss them with 1/2 teaspoon of salt & lard or oil of choice. Bake for 5 minutes, then move them around and turn the tray to ensure even baking. Cook for 4-6 more minutes, until crispy and somewhat browned, but not burnt.
While your brussels are cooking, prepare the nuts & spices and tahini sauce. Add the tahini, 1/2 teaspoon salt, lemon juice, garlic, gochujang (if using), and water or oil to your food processor and blend well (about 1 minute), then taste it. If the tahini sauce is too bitter, blend in up to 1 Tablespoon of maple syrup, then set aside.
Next, chop the almonds and add them to a small bowl along with the sesame seeds, sumac, cumin, and coriander. Once your brussels sprouts are cooked, put them into your serving bowl, top them evenly with the tahini sauce, sprinkle on the spice blend, and then drizzle on the pomegranate molasses. Serve & enjoy!
