    Oh I love roasted sprouts.
    They're also delicious sliced (well as much as you can) and fried with bacon. Mmm!

    My wife never tried a Brussels sprout until I grilled them on the Weber. I cut them in half and use a Misto sprayer with extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Now she loves them I basically am using one table spoon of fat instead of the butter.

    I will have to try the Hazel nuts though.

    Brussel sprouts are so yummy when they are roasted and nutty! I haven't roasted them with butter (mainly olive oil, since it doesn't burn as easily), but I'd try it.

    Will try em with hazelnuts.

    I am going to try this, thanks!

    I've been roasting them with a little lemon juice and olive oil, then tossing them in plain breadcrumbs, a bit of lemon zest and shredded parm while they're stll hot. UNREAL!

    I had never had a Brussels Sprout until last year!

    My standard prep is to fry a slice or two of bacon until crisp, remove and chop, then add 2-3 cloves garlic and halved sprouts (with the loose leaves) to the rendered fat and let them sit until they get crispy on the one side, flip, cook for another minute and then toss with the bacon, lemon juice and parmesan. You almost forget you're eating veggies.

    Not to thread jack just throwing another recipe out there.

    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/roasted-brussels-sprouts-recipe.html

    I've made these before and they were really good. Just the right cook of heat and sweetness.

    Directions for those that don't wanna click.

    Toss 1 1/2 pounds halved Brussels sprouts with 1/4 cup olive oil and a pinch each of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Roast cut-side down on a baking sheet at 450 until caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes. Drizzle with white wine vinegar and honey.
