Finally found a brussels sprouts recipe we love!

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. brussels sprouts
  • 2 Tbls. extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 c. pure maple syrup
  • 1 Tbls. good balsamic vinegar

  • 2/3 c. raw pecan pieces
  • 1/2 c. dried cranberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Trim stem ends off brussels sprouts and cut in half; take off outside piece. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, cut side down. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Spread out in an even layer on the baking sheet.

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.

Stir in dried cranberries and serve.
