Ingredients

For the sprouts:

  • 100g almonds (skin-on)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 400g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

For the avocado:

  • 1 avocado
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • ½ tsp garlic powder or granules (optional)
  • ¼ tsp sea salt

For the dressing:

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cider vinegar
  • Juice of ½ lime (or lemon)
  • 1 tsp miso paste (white, red or brown)
  • 1 tsp tahini
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • ¼ tsp fine salt

Cooking instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C/Gas 7. Spread the almonds out over a baking tray and roast for 5 minutes or until lightly browned and toasted. Set aside to cool.
  • For the avocado, halve and scoop out the flesh into a small food processor, squeeze in the lime juice and add the garlic powder and salt. Whizz everything together to make a smooth purée and set aside. (If you don’t have a food processor, you can mash everything together by hand to make a chunky sauce!)
  • Whisk together all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl or jug.
  • Now you’re ready to cook the sprouts. Add the oil to a large frying pan or small wok over a high heat. Arrange the sprouts in the hot pan with the cut sides facing down so they cook and char in the hot oil.
  • After 2-3 minutes then they are turning golden and crispy, flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until hot all the way through but not completely soft.
  • Toss through half the almonds and all the dressing then serve with the remaining almonds and avocado to spoon on top.
