Barry, parboiling sprouts isn’t necessary, I hated them til I tried roasting them. Peel & halve them, coat them in an emulsion of olive oil and maple syrup (how much is based on how many sprouts. 2 pounds of sprouts requires 3 tablespoons of oil & 2 tablespoons of maple syrup) place just the coated sprouts (not any residual oil & syrup) on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast at 450 degree oven (the temp one usually roasts a potato at) for 30 or so minutes or until caramelized & you can insert a paring knife in easily. I start checking them at 25 minutes, sometimes it can take 40 minutes. My kids love them

I’ve never had or used an air fryer. Got one this Christmas, unpacked and prepped it Christmas Eve. Watched a few KZfaq videos and we cooked the whole Christmas dinner using it. It was quick and easy. There was very little washing up and that was done while the meal was being plated up. The meal was delicious and the ALDI Turkey crown was moist and tender. Only cutlery and plates to wash afterwards. We had one of the most relaxed Christmas days ever.

Many people think sprouts are not tasty because years ago when most of us were kids, they weren’t very tasty. Nowadays they’ve been grown to be a lot less sour and much more tasty. So if you haven’t eaten a sprout since you were a kid, may be worth trying one this Christmas and giving them another chance. Also we know how to cook them properly, as years ago they were just boiled until they were mostly water!

@anndownsouth5070 5 ай бұрын

I believe you are right. I have not yet recovered from the trauma of watery, overcooked sprouts from my youth. I do believe that roasting them are the way to make them good. Maybe I'll get myself an airfryer next year and try that.

A recommendation: If you want to gently warm a sauce in the air fryer, put the sauce into a small stainless steel bowl that is tightly covered with aluminium foil. It's a LOT less messy to clean up after.

I love our air fryer, it looks like a little oven, though it's not the kind that you were using. It saves a lot of electricity and time. Also, I always microwave potatoes and veggies that take longer to soften, for 10 to 12 mins in a bowl covered in water before air frying. For weeknights, there is no more switching on the oven in our house. 😛

That looks bloody lovely, Barry. I do think that a quarter of that turkey roll (brilliant idea, BTW), would be fine for one person, especially with all the veg, and PIB, etc. It'd be perfect for me - as I've got older, I actually find eating big meals a bit of a chore, to be honest. But what you have created here is bang on. Tidy. You and your family have a good one. 👍👍👍

Seriously I think this was genius!! Such a good idea when making a big holiday meal would be far too much food and work. It could easily be an anytime meal (maybe scale back the items);) but in that amount of time you could have a special meal and leftovers. Great great video. I’m actually going to do the meat using chicken and roast the veggies for dinner. Thank you once again for inspiring all of us to try something new.
