Toasted sesame seeds can often be found in the Asian sections of some supermarkets, sometimes labeled Gomasio. If ever there was a time of year to keep a big jar of them on hand, pre-toasted and ready to go, this is it. They are the perfect crunchy topper for everything from salads to soups and roasted vegetables.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425◦. Cut off stems from brussels sprouts; discard. Place outer leaves on a large rimmed baking sheet. Finely slice inner brussels sprout cores and transfer to a medium bowl. Coarsely grind coriander seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.
Step 2
Add broccoli and tofu to baking sheet with outer sprout leaves. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil, add crushed coriander and pepper, and toss to combine; season with salt. Roast, tossing once halfway through, until broccoli is browned (even lightly charred in a few spots) and tender, 30–35 minutes. Let cool.
Step 3
Meanwhile, add olives, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1 Tbsp. lemon juice to sliced brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Season with salt.
Step 4
Purée hemp seeds, miso, 2 tsp. sesame seeds, remaining 5 Tbsp. lemon juice and 2 Tbsp. oil, and ¼ cup water in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.
Step 5
Spread some dressing on bowls or plates. Toss roasted vegetables with sliced brussels sprouts and arrange over dressing. Top with sesame seeds, almonds, and parsley.
