Roasted Or Grilled Vegetables With Fennel And Walnut Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb Brussels sprout (you could also use green beans, asparagus, cauliflower)
1 cup fennel bulb, thin sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Butter
1/4 cup butter
1/8 cup ground walnuts (very fine ground)

Preparation

Vegetables -- Mix the vegetables and fennel with the olive oil, salt and pepper and toss well.
Bake -- on a foil lined baking or cookie sheet at 450 for 12-20 minutes until golden brown. Add to a small bowl and cover.
Butter -- Mix the butter in a measuring cup and add the nuts and mix well. Now toss the melted butter with the roasted sprouts and fennel. Toss well to coat. Add any additional seasoning if necessary.
Now -- clean up. Melt the butter and nuts in the bowl you use to serve the sprouts in, one less dish. Very easy simple dish. But try this with other vegetables. Also, don't be afraid to try macadamia nuts with snap peas or pecans with butternut squash. Many different combinations you can use.
Option: Sometimes will crumble a little blue cheese or goat cheese over the top which is really good.
