Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Spread out 1/2 cup plus 8 hazelnuts evenly on the prepared baking sheet. (1 minute)

03

Step

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. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Set aside 8 hazelnuts and chop them coarsely for garnish. Transfer remaining hazelnuts to a food processor and finely chop. (8 minutes)

05

Step

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook shallots until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. (7 minutes)

06

Step

Combine remaining 5 tablespoons butter, cooked shallots, and ground hazelnuts in a bowl and blend hazelnut butter well. (3 minutes)

07

Step

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. (10 minutes)

08

Step

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. (5 minutes)

For an even more intense hazelnut flavor, try using browned butter for the hazelnut butter. Be sure not to burn the butter.
Fresh Brussels sprouts are highly recommended for the best texture and flavor. If using frozen, be sure to thaw and dry them thoroughly before steaming.
