Ingredients

1 ½kg Brussels sprouts, trimmed

200g vacuum-packed chestnuts, roughly chopped in half

200g smoked bacon lardons

1 tsp vegetable oil

Method

Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the sprouts and cook for 5 mins. Drain and refresh in cold water.

Toss the sprouts with all the other ingredients in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt and a good grinding of black pepper. Tip onto a large baking tray in a single layer. Put in the oven and roast for 30 mins, tossing halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the sprouts are golden and tender.
