But one person pointed out the chef’s choice of seed oil - as well as some other points - wasn’t “quite right”.
Toss until the sprouts are lightly and evenly coated. Slice off the nubby ends to give your sprouts "flat edges that will bake flush against the pan and caramelise".
Other things to remember are not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables, bake them at a high temperature for 17 to 25 minutes, and refrain from disturbing the cooking process.
It's so comforting and destined to be the most popular side on the table.

Sure, it’s not traditional but I’m a vegetarian so I’m quite used to my Christmas dinner deviating from the norm.
The 5-ingredient recipe that will leave Brussel sprouts tasting delicious
To begin, prepare your Brussels sprouts by washing them, removing any loose leaves and trimming the stems by cutting any tough ends.
Halve any large Brussels sprouts so all of them are roughly the same size and cut a cross through any smaller sprouts.
Erren explained: “The stem is the toughest part of the Brussels sprout and the cross allows them to cook at the same rate as the tender area.”
Once you are ready to cook, place some baking paper onto a large baking tray and then add your Brussels sprouts.
Arrange the Brussels sprouts until they are in a single layer and then drizzle the olive oil all over them.
Cut the garlic cloves into thin slices and add them to the baking tray so they are evenly spread.
Grate the Parmesan cheese over the Brussels sprouts as well and then season with salt and pepper.
Roast the Brussels sprouts at 200C for 20 minutes or until they are a golden brown colour.
Once they are fully cooked take out the oven, scatter some fresh parmesan cheese on top and your delicious Brussels sprouts are ready to eat.
They’re full of irresistible caramelised flavour, which is both sweet and nutty. The batter doesn’t need to be chilled.”
Another top tip I learned from my grandma was how to gauge the correct consistency for the batter – it should be around the thickness of double cream.
Similar tips were echoed by chef AJ Hussey in an Instagram video demonstration where he showed how to make Yorkshire puddings.
In the comments section, fellow Instagram users were eager to share their thoughts.

Someone else added: “Yorkshire person here.

Step 2
To prepare your Brussels sprouts, slice off the nubby ends and remove any discoloured or damaged leaves. The leaves turn extra crispy, making this a quick side dish you'll want to put on repeat.

She also says that smaller sprouts are usually sweeter and more tender, and you should go for sprouts that are around the same size so they're cooked at the same time.
This next thing is key. But when it comes to roasting your Brussels sprouts, there are a few things to remember if you want them to "turn out perfectly, every time".
Ms Taylor says you must choose your sprouts wisely - go for bright green sprouts that feel firm when gently squeezed.
It’s all to do with the temperature of the fat or the oil in the muffin tin before you pour the batter in.
She said: “The fat or oil has to be really hot so the batter sizzles when you pour it in - and you’re supposed to let the batter stand before you pour it into the tins.”
Leaving the batter to stand - or “rest” - isn’t described as an essential step in the process but it can help.
In fact, national treasure Mary Berry even agrees with my grandma's method!
She explained: “Resting helps them rise fully during cooking because it allows the gluten to ‘relax’ and relaxed gluten is more stretchy.
