ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CRANBERRIES

When prepared properly, Brussels sprouts have a sweet, nutty flavour and a crisp texture. If overcooked, Brussels sprouts produce a strong foul odour and become mushy in texture hence have garnered a somewhat undeserved reputation.

Ingredients

450g Brussels Sprouts (trimmed and halved)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
pinch of Salt and Black Pepper
1 tbsp Dried Cranberries

How to make it

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
  • In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil before spreading them out evenly across a baking tray. Season the sprouts to perfection with salt and pepper before roasting them in the oven for 15 minutes, by which point they will have started to soften.
  • Remove the sprouts from the oven and scatter over the cranberries. Return to the oven and roast for a further 10 minutes, or until the sprouts have begun to slightly char and the cranberries are caramelised.
  • Serve as a delicious accompaniment to any main meal or as a healthy snack.
