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.
