- 1/4 tsp. ground cumin

Directions
Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, cumin, cayenne and paprika. Brush both sides of Brussels sprouts with oil mixture, and set on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut sides down.
Bake for 10 minutes, turn, and continue baking until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, smear cut sides with mustard, and sandwich a slice of cooked tofu (or meat) between halves. Secure with toothpicks and serve.
