Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts with 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread the Brussels sprouts cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until edges are browned and sprouts are tender.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans and toast for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and golden.
  4. Step 4: Remove Brussels sprouts from oven and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle any pan juices over them and sprinkle with toasted pecans. Toss gently and serve warm.
