Time 40m

Yield Makes 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup packed fresh rosemary leaves
2 tablespoons julienned lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons fresh juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
1 cup hazelnuts (5 ounces), coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add rosemary and lemon zest and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add hazelnuts and cook, stirring frequently, until nuts are golden brown and rosemary and lemon zest are crisp, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Add sugar and lemon juice and continue cooking, stirring, until liquid darkens and nuts begin to caramelize, just a few seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Break apart into smaller pieces as desired. Crunch can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.

I'm not a huge fan of hazelnuts, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The chocolate and caramel coatings are so rich and flavorful that they balance out the nutty flavor of the hazelnuts. I'd definitely make this again.
