MAPLE-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH TOASTED HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• To prepare the brussels sprouts, remove any yellow or brown outer leaves, cut off the stems and cut in half.
• In a large bowl, toss the brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt and pepper together. Once all of the brussels sprouts are coated in oil, spread them into a 9-by-13-inch (or larger) baking dish or sheet tray to roast. Note: You may want to line your sheet tray with foil for easy cleanup because the caramelizing process leaves a sticky residue.
• After 15 minutes, stir the brussels sprouts with a spatula or large spoon to even out the browning. After 30 minutes, stir in the maple syrup. (Steps 1 through 4 can be done a day in advance; store covered in the refrigerator. Continue with Steps 5 and 6 right before serving.)
• Continue to roast the brussels sprouts for about 15 more minutes, or until they are fork tender (about 45 minutes total roasting time).
• Toss the roasted brussels sprouts with the hazelnuts and devour!

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH POMEGRANATE AND HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° F / 220°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the Brussels sprouts on the prepared baking sheet and toss with garlic, olive oil, thyme, sea salt (I season quite generously) and pepper until well coated. Place on center oven rack and roast, tossing a couple of times, until tender and golden brown, about 20 minutes (or a couple of minutes longer if you want them more browned).
• Meanwhile, roast the hazelnuts. In a dry large, heavy fry pan over medium heat, toast the hazelnuts, stirring them to color evenly, until the skins char in places and begin to split and flake, about 10 minutes. Transfer the nuts into a clean kitchen towel and wrap the towel around them. Rub the nuts against one another inside the towel to remove the skins. Do not worry if some bits of skin remain. Transfer the nuts to a cutting board and chop coarsely; you want an uneven mixture of some hazelnut halves and some small pieces.
• Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and hazelnuts, toss to combine. Adjust seasoning with more sea salt, if necessary. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and serve immediately.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS IN HAZELNUT BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Spread out 1/2 cup plus 8 hazelnuts evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
• Toast hazelnuts in the preheated oven, stirring frequently, until the skins crack and they turn light brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from oven and set aside until cool enough to handle. Roll cooled nuts between the palms of your hands to remove the skins.
• Set aside 8 hazelnuts and chop them coarsely for garnish. Transfer remaining hazelnuts to a food processor and finely chop.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook shallots until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Combine remaining 5 tablespoons butter, cooked shallots, and ground hazelnuts in a bowl and blend hazelnut butter well.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts, cover, and steam until just tender, about 5 minutes.
• Melt hazelnut butter in a pot over low heat. Add Brussels sprouts and toss to coat with the nut butter. Serve sprinkled with reserved chopped hazelnuts.
