Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)

1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped (for garnish)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that delicious caramelization on the Brussels sprouts.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with the olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if you’re using them. Toss until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the mixture.

      Create the Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well blended, setting aside this delightful glaze for later.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared maple glaze over the seasoned Brussels sprouts. Gently toss everything together, making sure that each sprout is coated in the glaze for a perfect blend of flavors.

          Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the glazed Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the baking sheet. Place them in the oven and roast for approximately 20-25 minutes. Halfway through roasting, give them a stir to ensure even cooking. They should emerge tender and beautifully caramelized.

            Garnish with Nuts and Herbs: Once roasted, take the Brussels sprouts out of the oven. Immediately sprinkle the chopped pecans and fresh parsley over the top for a delightful crunch and a burst of color.

              Serve with Flair: Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a beautiful serving dish. For an extra touch of sweetness and flavor, drizzle any remaining maple glaze over the sprouts before serving. Enjoy these sweet and savory delights as a perfect side dish!
