  1. ROASTED CARROTS

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the carrot chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. GOLDEN ALMONDS & CRUMB

    Place the flaked almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, add the breadcrumbs and fry for 1-2 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the grated cheese. Mix until fully combined and remove from the pan.

  3. MY HEART SPROUTS FOR YOU

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the halved brussels sprouts and fry for 5-6 minutes until charred, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and season to taste.

  4. GET IT TOGETHER!

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the chopped bacon and the diced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and the bacon is browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the heat and add the crème fraîche, the cream, the charred brussel sprouts, the mustard, seasoning, and 50ml of warm water. Mix until fully combined. Place the mixture in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle over the cheesy crumb. Pop in the hot oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  5. CRUNCHY SALAD

    In a bowl, combine the roasted carrots, the rinsed green leaves, the toasted almonds, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
