Ingredients

• 450 grams Brussels sprouts
• 300 grams Baby carrots
• 100 grams Pecans
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim the stems. Cut each sprout in half, or quarters if they are very large. Set aside.

Step 3

Rinse the baby carrots and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts and baby carrots. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and the carrots are tender.

Step 6

While the vegetables are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and toast them for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar until smooth.

Step 8

Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and return them to the mixing bowl. Pour the maple sauce over the hot vegetables and toss to coat evenly.

Step 9

Transfer the glazed vegetables to a serving dish and sprinkle the toasted pecans on top. Serve immediately, and enjoy your flavorful side dish!
