Please welcome to the stage our smashed Brussel sprouts salad with quinoa! We?ve taken the festive season?s most infamous vegetable and given it a flavour makeover!

What are smashed Brussel sprouts you ask" The key is in the name. After boiling your sprouts, you smash them open with a plate, then sautée or roast them.

The smashing opens up more surface area for the sautéed brussel sprouts to absorb herbs and spices and get deliciously golden and crispy when you fry them!

We serve ours up in a healthy salad with quinoa, carrots, chopped almonds and a maple soy sauce.

You?ve never had such tasty Brussel sprouts!
