Ingredients
- 25-30 brussel sprouts
- 1 parsnip (or carrot)
- 1 lice butternut squash
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 handful dried cranberries
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Check the sprouts for any major blemishes and cut them out. Trim the bottom and cut each one in half so there is a flat side. Place them into a bowl with half the oil and toss to coat.
- Peel and slice the parsnip (or carrot) lengthways into equal length pieces then rub to coat with some of the remaining oil.
- Add the sprouts to the baking sheet in a large tree shape. Use the parsnips to create the tree trunk.
- Use a star cookie cutter (or a knife to make the shape freehand) to make a star shape from the butternut squash slice. Lightly coat it with oil and add to the top of the sprout tree.
- Roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until cooked and beginning to brown.
- Add the dried cranberries decoratively to the sprout Christmas tree and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve!

Notes
- Notes: To serve more people, double the amount of sprouts and roast them (and the parsnip and star) in a baking tray. Make the tree shape to serve it all with the sprouts piled high. That will ensure they're all evenly cooked.
