Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
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.
Place the Brussels sprouts in a large mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.
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.
Finely mince the garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic.
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.
Add the toasted pecans to the Brussels sprouts and return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.
