MAKING

SIMPLICITY

TIME

It took us a grand total of 45 minutes, but this included the time in the oven , so you’re actually cooking for much less time than that! To be honest, the most time consuming part was getting the pomegranate seeds out of the pomegranate!!! So if anyone has any tips, let us know!

EATING

TASTE & TEXTURE

These roasted maple sprouts are a million times better than traditional soggy, boiled sprouts that are pretty much flavourless! Roasting instead of boiling gives the sprouts a crispy texture and a much deeper flavour. The combination of chilli and the sweetness from the maple syrup works so well and really jazzes the sprouts up, without being overpowering. The hazelnuts and pomegranates add whole new texture and give the dish a great crunch.
