Ingredients

• 2 pounds Brussels sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
• 0.5 cups Pecans
• 0.5 cups Dried cranberries
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Trim the Brussels sprouts by cutting off the stem ends and removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut larger sprouts in half lengthwise to ensure even roasting.

Step 3

Place the Brussels sprouts on a large baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over them, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts into a single layer on the baking sheet, with the cut side facing down for optimal caramelization.

Step 5

Roast the Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until they are tender and golden brown on the edges.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup and balsamic glaze. Remove the sprouts from the oven and drizzle the mixture evenly over them.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic, pecans, and dried cranberries to the baking sheet. Toss everything together gently to combine.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 3-5 minutes, to lightly toast the pecans and heat the cranberries.

Step 9

Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy the perfect Thanksgiving side dish!
