Who knew that sprouts could be so sexy? One of the most delicious, super quick, flavoursome and nutritious dishes perfect for this festive season. It’s been one of the most popular and widely requested recipe posts on my Instagram and, in my eyes, is the perfect accompaniment for Christmas lunch or just piled high in a bowl as a warming salad. A bright and colourful dish that will turn any brussels hater in to a sprout lover with just one mouthful (I can but hope!)

Oooh I do love sprouts- and bf is a major Chorizo fan, though I don’t eat pork. Will have to try this!
They are delicious, aren’t they! It’s great with or without the chorizo so a win win ! 🙂
They certainly are! Yeah I thought the same- I can do half with chorizo for him and half without for me 😉
So beautiful! You need to come and feed me!
Thank you, lovely girl!
Discovered your blog through my friend Lottie’s Larder. Made the Pan-Fried Festive Sprouts as a winter-warmer dish for friends last week. Big hit all round.
Hi Jack! I’m so pleased to hear you enjoyed the pan-fried sprouts recipe, it’s one of my favourites too! Do keep in touch and let me know if you try anymore recipes! Thank you too lovely Lottie too!
Going to have to try these on your auntie and cousins, see if I can get them liking sprouts!
Please do try them! The roasted ones are really fantastic too. Mummy HATES sprouts and I don’t think I could ever convert her. Lots of love x x x
