Preheat your oven to 170Β°C (340Β°F).
Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Shake the pan halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and set them aside to cool. Once cool enough to handle, rub them in a clean kitchen towel to remove as much of the skins as possible.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the granulated erythritol and water to the saucepan with the melted butter. Stir continuously until the erythritol is fully dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Add the cooled, skinned hazelnuts to the saucepan and toss them in the glaze until they are evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the glazed hazelnuts onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer.
Allow the glazed hazelnuts to cool completely, which will help the glaze set and harden.
Once cooled, store the sugar-free glacΓ© noisette in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve. Enjoy as a snack or a topping for desserts!
