Introduction
About this Recipe
By: Amanda
One of the most polarising vegetables, the arrival of Brussels sprouts season should be celebrated and they deserve so much more than to be boiled to a tasteless mush.
2-3 servings
Ingredients
Step by Step Instructions
- 25g hazelnuts
- 200g Brussels sprouts
- 1/2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- Himalayan salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180C. Roast the hazelnuts on a baking tray for 12-15 minutes, shaking occasionally. Wrap them in a clean tea towel for 1 minute, then rub the hazelnuts in the towel to remove most of the loose skins. Once cool, chop the nuts roughly and set aside.
Step 2
Remove the outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Toss with the coconut oil, salt, pepper and crushed garlic in a roasting tray and roast for around 20-25 minutes, until the edges turn crispy brown. Shake the tray a couple of times while they are cooking. The sprouts should be in a single layer, not touching each other.
Step 3
Make a dressing with the olive oil, Dijon mustard and lemon juice and toss this through the cooked sprouts, along with the toasted hazelnuts, just before serving.
