Ingredients

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 cup Toasted pecans (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts by slicing off the stem ends and removing any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer, cut side down, on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Roast the Brussels sprouts in the oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 6

While the sprouts are roasting, prepare the glaze by mixing maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl.

Step 7

Remove the sprouts from the oven after 20 minutes and drizzle the glaze evenly over them. Toss gently to coat and return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.

Step 8

Take the Brussels sprouts out of the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with toasted pecans for added crunch and flavor.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your sweet and savory Brussels sprouts!
