STEP 1 — Roast the sprouts
Preheat your oven to 220°C / 200°C fan.
Trim the bottoms of the Brussels sprouts if needed and slice them thinly (about 0.5 cm). Thin slices create more surface area and crisp beautifully in the oven.
Place them on a baking tray, toss with a little olive oil and season well with salt and black pepper.
Roast 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until browned and crisp.
STEP 2 — Warm the brothy beans
Add the butternut squash broth to a large saucepan along with the butter beans and their liquid.
Place over medium heat once the sprouts have about 5 minutes remaining.
Bring to a gentle simmer, then cook 2–3 minutes until the beans are warmed through and the broth is aromatic and rich.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
STEP 3 — Toast the seeds
Place a frying pan over low-medium heat.
Add the pumpkin seeds and pine nuts and toast dry (without oil) for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and fragrant.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
STEP 4 — Plate
Divide the butternut squash brothy beans between two bowls.
Top with the crispy Brussels sprouts, toasted seeds, and fresh estragon leaves.
Finish with 1 tbsp Szechuan chili oil per portion.
Serve warm and enjoy.
