Brussels Sprouts

These bite-sized beauties, part of the nutrient-packed cabbage family, are an underrated winter staple. Full of fibre and rich in vitamins C and K, Brussels sprouts support everything from immunity to bone health—perfect for keeping you feeling your best through the colder months.

Steam them gently for a soft, delicate side; roast them until golden and crispy for extra flavour; or slice and sauté them with garlic, olive oil, and pancetta for an easy weeknight winner.
