Got this from Martha Stewart and they are fab!.

Pre-heat oven to 350!.

Slice sprouts in quarters!. Toss them in a Zip-loc bag and coat with a nut oil!. I use walnut because that is what I have at the house!.

Spread in single layer on baking pan (I use stone) and sprinkle with some salt & pepper & hazelnut pieces!.

Bake for about 20-30 minutes!. They are delish!Www@FoodAQ@Com
