Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

For Serving

  • 0.33 cup toasted pecan halves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil, balsamic, and honey. Sprinkle with the salt and several grinds of pepper and toss to coat. Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer, leaving a little space around each one.
  • Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown around the edges. The exact timing will depend on the size of your sprouts. Season to taste.
