Ingredients

1 and 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed
1 and 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lemon zest
1 and 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons maple syrup or liquid keto sweetener, if following keto diet
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped toasted or raw hazelnuts (see notes for options)
Optional: Vegan Parmesan cheese for sprinkling

Instructions

Using a very sharp knife or a mandolin, very thinly slice Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Use your fingers to separate the leaves.
In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, maple syrup, salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine Brussels sprouts and hazelnuts. Add dressing and gently toss to coat. If desired, sprinkle with Vegan Parmesan Cheese.

Notes

Hazelnut Options: Almost any other chopped toasted nuts or seeds (e.g., almond, walnuts, pecans, pepitas, sunflower seeds) can be used in place of the hazelnuts.
