Notes
LISA’S TIP – These sprouts can be served hot or cold, and make a delicious addition to salads – think of them as nutrient packed croutons! To make them even more special, sprinkle over some Manchego or parmesan cheese for the last 5 minutes of roasting – and don’t be surprised if you find your non-sprout loving friends eating more than just one!
