This flower sprouts salad<\/strong> is the perfect way to enjoy this adorable vegetable. Also, called kalettes<\/strong>, these cute flower-like sprouts are roasted in the oven and tossed in a salad made with nutty-tasting spelt, kale leaves, dried cranberries, shaved parmesan and toasted almonds. All of which are dressed in deliciously simple apple cider vinaigrette flavoured with Dijon mustard and maple syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are flower sprouts (kalettes)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flower sprouts (also known as kalettes or kale sprouts) are a cross between kale and Brussels sprouts. They look like pretty little flowers with tones of grey-green and violet purple. They have a texture much like kale, with a flavor that\u2019s sweet yet complex, and undertones of nuts, that is reminiscent of classic sprouts but milder without as much bitterness.<\/p>\n\n\n

Where to buy kalettes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kalettes<\/a>, are a seasonally available vegetable that is also grown naturally and locally. You can find them at your local farmers market between November and March. You\u2019ll recognise them as they look like curly cabbage florets with purple stems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use flower sprouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kalettes are incredibly versatile<\/strong> to cook with since they have the subtle flavour. I love roasting them in the oven with broccoli and then adding them to salads. And since they are quick to roast you can also roast them together with fish like salmon as a one-pan dinner. Or try adding them to chicken soup or other broth based soups. And of course, you can also lightly fry, saut\u00e9, or steam them \u2013 the options are endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
