Sprouts are mostly water and fibre. A portion is 30 kcal, with 6 g of carbs, 2 g of protein and no fat.
A knob of butter takes it to 70. Roasted with bacon or chestnuts, they climb again, and they also taste a lot better that way.
On a Christmas plate they are the one thing you do not need to think about at all. Have as many as you like.
Tips
- 1Roast them in a little oil until the edges catch. Even sprout haters come round.
- 2Shred them raw into a salad with lemon for something different.
- 3Toss them with a few chestnuts instead of a lot of butter.
