Roast for 25 minutes, until they are almost tender.
Meanwhile, stir together the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar.
Remove brussels sprouts from oven and add garlic and pecans. Pour the syrup and balsamic mixture over the top and toss until everything is evenly coated. Return the pan to the hot oven and roast for another 5 minutes, until pecans are toasted and brussels sprouts are golden and tender.
