Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- To prepare the brussels sprouts, remove any yellow or brown outer leaves, cut off the stems and cut in half.
- In a large bowl, toss the brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt and pepper together. Once all of the brussels sprouts are coated in oil, spread them into a 9-by-13-inch (or larger) baking dish or sheet tray to roast. Note: You may want to line your sheet tray with foil for easy cleanup because the caramelizing process leaves a sticky residue.
- After 15 minutes, stir the brussels sprouts with a spatula or large spoon to even out the browning. After 30 minutes, stir in the maple syrup. (Steps 1 through 4 can be done a day in advance; store covered in the refrigerator. Continue with Steps 5 and 6 right before serving.)
- Continue to roast the brussels sprouts for about 15 more minutes, or until they are fork tender (about 45 minutes total roasting time).
- Toss the roasted brussels sprouts with the hazelnuts and devour!

Steps:
- Heat a large cast iron or similar sturdy bottomed skillet over medium high for 4 minutes. Add the oil. As soon as the oil is hot and shining (but before it starts smoking), swirl to cost the pan, then add the halved Brussels sprouts. Shake the skillet a little and prod them so that as many as possible are cut-side down. Let sit completely undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, until they develop a dark, tasty, caramelized sear.
- Add the salt and pepper. With a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the Brussels sprouts. Continue cooking, stirring every few minutes, until the Brussels sprouts are browned all over and just turning tender the inside, about 6 to 8 additional minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vinegar, then the pine nuts or almonds. Let the residual heat of the skillet toast the nuts, stirring them very often so that they toast evenly on all sides and do not burn (if they aren't toasting, return the skillet to low heat). As soon as the nuts are toasted, transfer the sprouts to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Enjoy hot.

Steps:
- Trim off and discard the ends of the brussels sprouts. Pull off the darker outer leaves. Cut larger brussels sprouts in half or quarters, leaving only the smallest, tenderest sprouts whole. You want all the sprouts or cut sprouts to be about the same size so they cook evenly. Set aside the trimmed, prepped sprouts.
- Heat a large frying pan or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts to the dry, hot pan and cook, stirring frequently, until they're starting to toast, about 3 minutes. They will continue toasting after you take them off the heat, so remove them before they're as dark as you'd like them. Transfer the walnuts to a dish and set aside.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat and melt the butter or heat the oil. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom with the butter or oil. Add the Brussels sprouts, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to a gentle but steady simmer and cook, undisturbed, until the Brussels sprouts are bright green and tender almost all the way through, 3 to 5 minutes depending on the size of the sprouts.
- Uncover and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. The water should all be evaporated at that point as well. Add the walnuts and stir to combine.
- Transfer the brussels sprouts to a serving dish and drizzle with walnut oil, if you like. Serve hot or warm. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm for up to an hour, if desired. If holding warm, wait until serving to drizzle on the walnut oil.

Tips:
- Choose fresh Brussels sprouts: Look for bright green, tightly packed leaves. Avoid any sprouts with yellow or wilted leaves.
- Trim the sprouts: Cut off the stem end and any discolored leaves.
- Blanch the sprouts: This helps to tenderize them and preserve their color. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sprouts and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the sprouts and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Roast the sprouts: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Add nuts and seeds: For a crunchy texture and extra flavor, add toasted nuts or seeds to the roasted sprouts. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, pine nuts, or pumpkin seeds.
- Serve immediately: Brussels sprouts are best served hot or warm. Enjoy them as a side dish or as a main course with a protein of your choice.
Conclusion:
Roasted Brussels sprouts with nuts are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences.
