Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any wilted outer leaves. Slice larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, wash the grapes and pat them dry. After the first 15 minutes of roasting, add the grapes to the baking sheet, mixing them with the Brussels sprouts for even cooking.
Continue roasting for another 10 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized, and the grapes are softened and beginning to release their juices.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately drizzle the honey over the Brussels sprouts and grapes. Gently toss to coat in the honey while everything is still warm.
Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves and drizzle the lemon juice over the dish. Toss again to combine.
Transfer the honeyed Brussels sprouts with grapes to a serving platter and garnish with chopped pecans or walnuts if desired. Serve warm as a side dish.
