Product Information

No more soggy leftovers! You can reheat anything that’s meant to be crispy in your air fryer. That includes anything fried, as well as some other foods including pizza, veggies, garlic bread, hot dogs, etc. We think of sprouts as a Christmas dish but there are over 100 varieties which come into season at varying points through the late summer through until spring. Cabbage– We love roasting cabbage in the oven! It turns out yummy in the air fryer too, however, it’s difficult to fit an entire head in there, and you have to toss every few minutes, so you can’t just “set it and forget it” like in the oven. It’s amazing for leftover cabbage, though! The one rule that holds true for cooking sprouts on the hob is that you should try to avoid cooking them for more than 5 minutes or the sulphurous compounds (isothiocyanates) within them will start to break down – and they will smell. The longer you cook them, the stronger the smell will get.

If you end up with a load of leftover sprouts, you can freeze them, but bear in mind the texture will not benefit from being frozen. Raw sprouts can be frozen when shredded or thinly sliced, spread them out on a tray to freeze and then tip them into a bag or container and they’ll defrost almost instantly so you can tip them straight into a frying pan. You can cook your sprouts ahead and reheat them in the microwave if you are short on hob space. Or you can cook halved or quartered sprouts ahead and warm them gently with some butter in a pan. Ingredients that can be added to cooked sprouts include flaked or chopped almonds, chopped hazel nuts and of course chestnuts. Brown the nuts in a little butter before adding the freshly cooked sprouts. Give your sprouts a spiced edge with garam masala or ras el hanout, or add some chopped chilli and garlic, again cook the spices or flavourings for a few seconds in butter or oil before adding the hot sprouts. Toss them together. You'll find plenty more flavour ideas in our main collection of brussels sprouts recipes. Don’t soak sprouts before cooking them, they don’t need it. Rinse before cooking, and if you want to store them ready-prepped but them in a reusable bag or container in the fridge.

5. Crispy Hash Browns

Fry sliced sprouts (pre-cooked if you like) in a little butter until they start to brown, then add mashed potato, season and mix. Press the mixture down in the pan and brown the base. Turn over in patches and keep browning wherever needed. Roast sprouts at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 30 mins. Pour over some cheese sauce, scatter with dried breadcrumbs (and some bacon if you like) and bake for 10 mins. EASY-PEASY GAMEPLAY : Just strap on a tail, warm up those thighs, spin the spinner, and win some bananas! Easy … or is it? Gameplay is super straight-forward to follow (great for monkeys with short attention spans) but hard to master, making it the perfect addition to your board and card game collection. 2+ PLAYERS | 6+ YEARS Kale– It actually turned out delicious, but leafy greens tend to fly around in an air fryer so you have to constantly babysit them and mix every minute or so. I had a few pieces fly up into the heating element and start to smoke!

Heat some oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Put halved sprouts in, cut-side down, leave to sizzle for 5-10 mins, lifting them up every few mins to see how brown they are, then dot with butter, turn them over and cook for about 10 mins more until they are tinged dark brown all over. Season and scatter over some sesame seeds or flaked almonds if you like. Among the most popular are Abacus (ready in August and September) and Cryptus (these are like mini cabbages with frilly outer leaves, ready in December), plus dark green Petrus and Splendus that continue going strong into April. Most loose sprouts won’t be labelled but those in nets might be, you could also try growing your own if you have space.. How to buy Brussels sprouts Prepare your sprouts and dry them thoroughly. Fill a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan no more than a third full with oil and heat until it reads 190C on a thermometer or a piece of bread browns in the oil within 15 secs. Carefully lower in the sprouts and fry for 3 mins until deep golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper, then scatter with sea salt. Leave them in their bag in the salad drawer, or if they are loose make sure your fridge isn’t going to dry them out.Halve, quarter or shred sprouts to minimise the cooking time. If the sprouts are larger than average and you want them to remain whole, you can of course cook them for longer. They will probably need 7-8 minutes to cook through. Toss sprouts in a little oil and tip into a baking dish with bacon lardons (or wrap each in pancetta first). Roast at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 20-30 minutes, or until tender.
