The controversial vegetable is a Christmas dinner staple, and by adding a couple of simple ingredients, you can transform them into something much more tasty
Christmas isn't far away now, and one of the best things about the day - aside from spending time with family and friends, of course - is the much-anticipated Christmas dinner.
However, one part of Christmas dinner is definitely more controversial than the rest. The humble Brussels sprout is hugely polarising, with some people loving the green veg and others wanting it nowhere near their plate. The concept is very similar to smashed potatoes - but using Brussels sprouts instead, using plenty of parmesan cheese, butter and seasonings to make them crispy and flavoursome. They're the perfect Christmas Day dish, and after trying them out, I'll definitely be making them for my family on the big day.
Drain the sprouts, then pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove any excess moisture before leaving them to cool for another 10 minutes or so.Count your sprouts and for however many you've got, add a small dot of butter to your baking trays. You'll want these quite evenly spaced, so that the sprouts don't stick together when they're smashed down.
Top again with the seasonings and then the cheese, before baking them in the oven for around 20-30 minutes until the cheese has turned lovely and crispy.
