Bored of Lunch’s Air Fryer Soy, Butter and Sesame Sprouts

Bored of Lunch's Brussel sprouts are coated in an irresistible soy, butter and sesame glaze and cooked in the air fryer in 15 minutes flat. The perfect side to serve at Christmas and all winter long.

From the book

Introduction

Sprouts are notoriously controversial but I am here to convince even the haters. These are buttery and sticky from the honey with a salty tang from the soy sauce – get ready for them to become one of your go-to sides. If you want the flavour to be more plain, maybe to go with your Sunday roast, you can use the same method and simply pair with butter and olive oil for a more classic version.

Ingredients

400g Brussels sprouts, trimmed
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp honey
low-calorie oil spray
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Essential kit

You will need: an air fryer.

Method

Boil the kettle and pour the water into a heatproof bowl to cover the sprouts. Leave to steep for 5 minutes – there’s no need to parboil them, just let them ever so slightly soften before putting them in the air fryer.

Add the sprouts to the air fryer with all the other ingredients, except the sesame seeds, spray with the oil spray and air-fry for 8–10 minutes at 200°C, shaking halfway through cooking.

Once cooked, toss through the sesame seeds and serve.
