Brussels Sprouts


With Hazelnut Butter -- SO Good!

Home Recipes Roasted Brussels Sprouts + Hazelnut Butter

Roasted Brussels Sprouts + Hazelnut Butter

Recipes, Sides |

Brussels SproutsI am a fairly new fan of Brussels Sprouts, and I have my daughters (and Natalie!) to thank for that.  Growing up, Brussels Sprouts were frozen, then boiled with bacon, if I recall correctly.  I like most vegetables, but as cute and delicious as they looked, I just didn’t care for the taste.  Fast forward to 2007, Jackie and Alyssa came home from having dinner with our neighbors and raved about the fresh Brussels Sprouts Natalie prepared.  I was perplexed!  “Really?!  You like Brussels Sprouts?!”  I decided to give them another try.  I found that I really do enjoy fresh, roasted Brussels Sprouts.  A completely different experience from boiled.  This recipe one-ups the basic roasted by topping it with a hazelnut butter.  The honey and lemon add layers of flavor.  Let me know what you think!

Making Hazelnut Butter
Step 2
Toss Brussels sprouts in olive oil, place in single layer in roasting pan (or cookie sheet) and sprinkle with salt. Place in oven until nicely roasted. This should take approximately 15-20 minutes. Check halfway through and mix so that Brussels sprouts can get roasted on all sides.
Step 3
Place hazelnuts in skillet on stovetop over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until nuts are toasted to a deep golden brown (careful not to burn). Remove from heat.
Step 4
Finely chop 1/4 cup of the nuts in a food processor. The final product will be fine like cornmeal. Reserve the remaining nuts for garnish.
Step 5
Mix the finely chopped nuts with butter, lemon zest, thyme, honey and salt.
Step 6
Place roasted Brussels sprouts in serving dish, drizzle with lemon juice followed by hazelnut butter and top with reserved coursely chopped nuts.
