- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Remove any loose outer leaves.
- Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Toss them halfway through for even cooking.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the balsamic glaze. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic glaze and honey. Simmer over low heat until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, transfer them to a serving bowl. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top and toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the Brussels sprouts. If desired, add freshly grated Parmesan cheese for an extra savory kick.
- Serve and Enjoy!
