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.
