Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast, tossing halfway through, until tender and charred in spots, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the grapes and thyme and cook, tossing, until the grapes start to burst, about 4 minutes. Add the scallions and honey. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the juices thicken and the grapes are glazed, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish; spoon the grapes over the top and sprinkle with the hazelnuts.

Cook over medium-high heat until the sprouts begin to caramelize, about 4 minutes . When they begin to brown, transfer the pan to the oven and roast until charred and tender, about 15 minutes.
• Return the pan to medium heat. Transfer the sprouts to a bowl, leaving some fat behind. Add the shallots and cumin to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the shallots soften and the cumin smells fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
