c) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until browned and tender, 18-20 mins. Turn halfway through.
a) Meanwhile, roughly crush the hazelnuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.
b) When the sprouts have 10 mins remaining, pop a medium frying pan on medium heat (no oil).
c) Once hot, add the hazelnuts and dry-fry until toasted, 2-3 mins. TIP: Watch them like a hawk as they can burn easily.
d) Once toasted, remove to a bowl and set aside.
