Christmas is just around the corner, and it's likely that preparations are already underway for that long-awaited festive feast. If you're a fan of a traditional Christmas dinner, you'll know that some of the key components include turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes and pigs in blankets. Not forgetting an array of vegetables that, if cooked properly, can really take your meal to the next level.

I'll admit that I have been in the latter camp for years, mainly because I had only ever had them boiled, which didn't really do anything for me. Tasteless, bland and boring, I've always left them off my plate when Christmas Day rolls around. But this year it's all about to change, as I have discovered the ultimate way to cook Brussels sprouts that truly transforms the vegetable into something tasty, delicious and moreish, the Daily Record reports.
The concept is very similar to smashed potatoes - but using Brussels sprouts instead, using plenty of parmesan cheese, butter and seasonings to make them crispy and flavoursome.

The recipe was shared by Emily's Cooking in a video which has racked up more than four million views to date. Although it does require a little more effort than boiling the sprouts, it's well worth it, and you only need a handful of ingredients. Here's how you can make them.
