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!
Perfect for Fall and The Holidays!
This delicious vegetable side dish is perfect for any fall meal and dresses up the holiday meal beautifully.

we love brussels sprouts here! especially carmelized or roasted, they have such a sweet flavor then!
Brussels sprouts are a favorite here. I’m hoping to grow them again in my garden. I will be trying this soon.
Lucky you! I wish I had room for a large garden.
Great combo! I’ll have to give it a try, the recipe looks yummy and easy.
I don’t need anymore convincing! I already love brussels sprouts, and these look amazing.
Oh yum. I’ve been part of a CSA for a few months and just discovered brussels sprouts. They are SO good, I love them! This recipe sounds great!
I made these last night and my friend and I could not believe how delicious this dish was! Thank you!
Thanks Louise! I’m so glad you love them as much as I do!
LOVE roasting Brussels Sprouts.. so much.
This is a delightful combo and cannot wait to try it.
Do you ever drizzle a little good quality balsamic?
That’s my usual ‘go to’. Not a balsamic glaze, but I have a really nice B. vinegar.. and I add a little to the olive oil/S/P that i used to do.. elevated..
Yes sometimes I do! I love it.
