Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered

1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts

1/4 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground pepper to taste

3 tablespoons water

Preparation

Position rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 450°F.

Place butter on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast until the butter is melted, browned and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven; toss Brussels sprouts and hazelnuts with the browned butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return to the oven and roast for 7 minutes. Sprinkle with water; toss and continue roasting until the sprouts are tender and lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes more.
