Separating the leaves of each tiny cabbage may sound tedious, but you'll be crowned a true hero once your crowd gets a taste of the sweetest, tender-crisp brussels sprouts they've ever had.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. Toast walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 8–10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
Step 2
Using a paring knife, remove cores from brussels sprouts through stem ends; discard. Peel off leaves all the way down to the very center.
Step 3
Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add a quarter of the brussels sprout leaves and cook, tossing once or twice, until bright green and deeply charred in spots, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to a platter. Repeat process 3 more times with remaining brussels sprouts and olive oil.
Step 4
Finely grate lemon zest over brussels sprouts, then squeeze juice on top. Scatter walnuts over and drizzle with walnut oil. Finish with a few cranks of pepper.
Step 5
Do Ahead: Brussels sprouts can be cored and leaves separated 3 days ahead. Wrap in damp paper towels and store in resealable plastic bags; chill.
