Candied Walnut Brussels Sprout Bites

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS

• 1 lb. medium brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 8 oz. brie cheese, cut into small pieces
• 1/4 c. honey
• 1 tsp. hot sauce

FOR THE CANDIED WALNUTS

• 1 1/2 c. California walnuts
• 2 tbsp. honey
• 1 tbsp. granulated sugar 
• 1/2 tsp. chili powder
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Cook brussels sprouts: Preheat oven to 425.º On a large baking sheet, toss brussels sprouts with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until crispy, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly.
2. Reduce oven temperature to 350°.  Scatter walnuts on a large baking sheet and bake until walnuts are toasted, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Make candied walnuts: Grease a large plate with cooking spray. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine walnuts, honey mixture, sugar, and chili powder. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar coats walnuts and turns golden, about 3 minutes. Immediately transfer walnuts to prepared plate and spread into a single layer. Season with salt. Let cool completely, stirring a few times to keep walnuts separate.
4. Arrange Brussels sprouts cut side-up on a serving platter.  Top each with a piece of brie, a candied walnut, and drizzle of hot honey.
