make BBQ Brussels sprouts

If we were sprouts, we’d have fired our PR manager long ago. Those little bite-sized lettuces have had years of bad press, but if everyone stopped boiling them into a bland mush and started frying them up nice and crispy, we’d see they’re a different kettle of sprouts. Plus, sprouts are packed with vitamin C, and just eight of them count as one of your five-a-day. You can probably manage eight.

Ingredients:
500g Brussels sprouts
2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tsp dried chilli
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

step 1

Mix the oil and spices together, then add the sprouts and get them nicely coated in it all.

step 2

Fry them for 8-10 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the outer leaves start looking charred, and the sprouts feel tender.

step 3

Serve them up, sit back, and wait for endless compliments about how they’re the best sprouts anyone’s ever had.
