Spread walnuts evenly on a baking sheet with raised edges and toast them, stirring occasionally, until they turn a golden brown color, which should take around 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the toasted walnuts to cool down before roughly chopping them into smaller pieces.
- 2With a paring knife, cut out the cores of the brussels sprouts from the stem ends and discard them. Carefully peel off the leaves until you reach the center.
Cultural note
Brussels sprouts are believed to have originated in Belgium, hence the name. They have been enjoyed in European cuisine for centuries and are now popular in many Western dishes. The addition of walnuts and olive oil reflects a Mediterranean influence in this recipe.
Seasonal note
Brussels sprouts are in season in the fall and winter months, making this dish ideal for colder seasons when the vegetable is at its peak freshness.
Health note
This dish is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin K. It is relatively high in calories and fat due to the walnuts and oils, but the fats are heart-healthy. The walnuts provide omega-3 fatty acids and the Brussels sprouts offer antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits.
