Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 100 grams Pecans
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the stem ends and removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut them in half lengthwise for even roasting.

Step 3

Place the Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 6

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and toast them for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 7

Finely mince the garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic.

Step 8

After 20 minutes of roasting, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and drizzle the maple-balsamic mixture evenly over them. Toss gently to combine.

Step 9

Add the toasted pecans to the Brussels sprouts and return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
