Roasted cabbage with parmesan, garlic oil and toasted hazelnuts—a simple, tender, and flavorful oven-baked side dish.
Hazelnuts are a kitchen staple that bring warmth, crunch, and a rich, buttery flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. Whether toasted and folded into cookie dough, ground into hazelnut flour for gluten-free baking, or blended into a creamy nut butter, Hazelnuts add depth and texture to recipes from breakfast to dessert. In baking, they shine in tarts, frangipane, biscotti, and chocolate-hazelnut ganaches. in savory cooking they provide an earthy counterpoint in pesto, salads, crusts for fish or poultry, and roasted vegetable finishes.
Roasting Hazelnuts intensifies their aroma and makes skin removal easy—simply toast at 325°F (160°C) for 10–15 minutes, wrap in a towel, and rub to loosen skins. For quick spreads, pulse toasted Hazelnuts with a pinch of salt and a touch of neutral oil until smooth. for praline, caramelize sugar and coat the nuts, then blitz into a crunchy sprinkle. Hazelnut oil and hazelnut meal are versatile pantry ingredients: oil for finishing salads or drizzling over soups, meal for adding moistness and nutty flavor to cakes and pancakes.
Storage is simple—keep Hazelnuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to preserve their oils and prevent rancidity. Swap Hazelnuts 1:1 with other nuts in many recipes, but expect a distinctive, sweet, almost cocoa-like note that pairs exceptionally well with chocolate, pears, coffee, cinnamon, and citrus.
