  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small frying pan and fry the Walnuts with the remaining maple syrup and pul biber for 1-2 minutes to caramelise, set aside.
  4. Heat the remaining 2 tsp oil in the same pan and fry the bread cubes for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
  5. Place the sprout and carrot ribbons, cannellini beans, green beans and Walnuts in piles around 2 shallow bowls, drizzle over the dressing and top with the croutons to serve.
