But love them or hate them, sprouts are a fixture of the big day. While images of boiled sprouts might haunt the dreams of children of all ages, there are other ways to cook them.

These might elevate the humble sprout to heavenly new heights of culinary ecstasy, or make them just about bearable. It all depends on who you ask.

But one recipe has been doing the rounds online which combines the controversial vegetable with the viral kitchen gadget the air fryer. Not only that but the recipe has been hailed as 'one of the best you'll ever try'.
