added over 1 year agoOrange peel would be wonderful with the hazelnuts. I have been thinking of doing the same and wondered if espresso grounds with orange peel would work I just thought infusing the nuts with coffee and orange would be amazing if it would work.. Sorry I went off track its just an idea I had. I love cinnamon and nutmeg, I think hazelnuts scream for warm earthy spices, allspice would be good. Was thinking about cardamom also.
I agree about cinnamon, nutmeg or mace - and some sort of citrus peel. Hazelnuts and honey also like each other (a favorite flavor at our local gelato shop) - so maybe some honey, if you want to add a sweet element.
Citrus peel, or ginger, or pumpkin pie spices.
They have a mild somewhat smoky flavor to me and I think that something piney would go nicely with that. Herbes de provence might also go well with them, in composite proportions to your liking.

Lemon Peel? I had the best salad at Vanderbilt, a restaurant in Prospect Heights, Bklyn. The chef had dehydrated some butternut squash, and placed on a bed of watercress with sliced, pickled shallots and hazelnuts toasted and perfumed with lemon peel.
I'd add some fennel seeds as well.
