Cut or remove the dry outer leaves from the sprouts. Slice the end of the stem. Cut a deep X about 3 mm into each stem.
Boil a pot with 3/4 parts of water. Add salt and sugar. Add the sprouts and boil until they are light green and tender, about 5 minutes.
Drain, rinse under cold running water and let drain once more.
In a frying pan, roast the hazelnuts over medium heat, stirring for even color, until they are golden brown on the outside and start to crack and separate, about 10 minutes.
Place the toasted hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel and roll. Rub the hazelnuts to remove the skins. (It’s okay if some skins remain).
Chop the hazelnuts a little.
Return the hazelnuts to the pan over medium heat and toast them lightly for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Add the butter and let it melt. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the sprouts, stirring to coat them in the butter and hazelnuts, heating them through completely, about 5 minutes.
Add a little lemon juice and serve hot or at room temperature.
