Name: Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Hazelnut and Mint
Yield: 4

I must admit that until I moved to the US nearly 20 years ago I was not a fan of Brussels sprouts, but things have changed. I am now a big fan and love preparing them in many different ways. I find that like in many recipes simple is often better. This dish showcases the complexity of the Vadouvan, with great depth offset by the fresh mint and crunchy hazelnuts.

1 pound brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed (if needed), and cut in half
1.5 tablespoons Vadouvan N28
Olive oil
Salt
1/3 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/2 lemon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a bowl toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt and Vadouvan. Spread them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper or in a roasting pan.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. You want them to be slightly tender, charred but not too soft. Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice, and a bit of olive oil.
Top with the chopped hazelnut , scallions and mint leaves.
