About Brussels Sprouts:

Brussels Sprouts belong to the cabbage family. They are high in Vitamin C and fiber and contain a nutrient called sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is a chemical known to have cancer preventing properties, something we can all use.

How to Make Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Apples and Hazelnuts:

Believe it or not, when roasted, Brussels Sprouts take on an almost French fry taste and taste. When roasting sprouts, always drizzle veggies with just enough olive oil that all the vegetables are glistening but the pan isn’t swimming in oil. Toss in sea salt and freshly ground pepper, then pop in the oven to roast until the edges turn a golden brown. I didn’t roast these until they were browned for one reason, they don’t photograph as well. But you go right ahead and make those edges nice and crunchy!

When the sprouts and onions are roasted to perfection I remove them from the oven and begin to sauté the apples in butter or olive oil, add hazelnuts (also called Filberts) and then toss it all together in a cast iron pan!
