Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.</li><li>For the tamarind glaze, into a medium saucepan over low heat, add oil and garlic. Slowly cook garlic in oil until barely golden brown in color, 15 to 20 minutes. The garlic should be soft and easily pierced with a fork. Carefully add tomato slices and cook for another 10 minutes until slices are very soft and falling apart. Add tamarind, guajillo, chiles de árbol, date, and 1 tablespoon water. Increase heat to medium-high to bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes more.</li><li>Remove from heat and let cool so it’s just warm rather than hot, then transfer to a blender and purée for 4 minutes, scraping down sides several times to make sure all ingredients get fully incorporated. Add salt and blend once more. If sauce is too thick, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons water—consistency should be a little looser than a vinaigrette.</li><li>For the Brussels sprouts, in a medium bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil and salt. Spread evenly (cut-side down) on sheet tray and roast in oven for 12 minutes or until tender but not mushy. </li><li>In a large bowl, toss roasted Brussels with about 1½ tablespoons of glaze. Taste and adjust with more glaze, if needed. Garnish with cashews and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.</li></ol>DON'T MISS OUT: Get breaking news, recipes, and our weekly vegan deal by signing up for our FREE VegNewsletterHere at VegNews, we live and breathe the plant-based lifestyle, and only recommend products we feel make our lives amazing.
