Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan/ gas 6. Cook the sprouts in a pan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes to soften a little. Drain in a colander, then leave for a minute to dry out.
  2. Toss the sprouts with the apples and olive oil in a large roasting tin (they need enough room to really spread out). Scatter over the rosemary and pancetta. Roast for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sprouts and apples are tender and the pancetta is crisp. Serve.

    If you’re serving this for vegetarians, replace the pancetta with chopped macadamia nuts.
