Kids in the kitchen:
Let the kids take charge with this recipe – it’s meant to make sprouts fun! Let them drizzle the syrup and oil over them, and once roasted and cooled a little, let the children wrap the sprouts up in the ham. Have them take charge of prepping the breadcrumbs and egg and let them do the rolling and poking onto sticks (with a little help and supervision!). They’ll love this recipe, which makes them more likely to give them a go!
