How To Make Brussels Sprouts with Hazelnuts and Sage

Step 1: Set Up Steamer

Start out by bringing water to a boil in a large saucepan or soup pot fitted with a steamer basket. If you don’t have a steamer basket you can blanch the Brussels Sprouts in boiling water, but make sure you drain them very well.

Step 2: Steam The Brussels Sprouts

Steam the Brussels Sprouts until they are tender when pierced with a knife. This takes about 6 or 7 minutes. Remove the steamer from the pot to prevent them from overcooking. 

Step 3: Make The Garlic Butter Mixture

While the Brussels Sprouts are steaming, heat the butter and oil in a small skillet. Add in the garlic and cook it until it is fragrant, but not browned. Swirl in oregano and sage, and remove from the heat.

Step 4: Mix Brussels Sprouts with Garlic Butter and Hazelnuts

Lastly, toss the Brussels sprouts with the garlic mixture, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add hazelnuts and toss to coat.
