Ingredients
  

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped (optional)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will allow it to reach the ideal temperature for roasting.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved Brussels sprouts. Drizzle them with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the sprouts thoroughly to ensure each piece is well-coated with the oil and seasoning.

      Create the Glaze: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.

        Combine the Glaze with the Brussels Sprouts: Pour the glaze over the seasoned Brussels sprouts in the mixing bowl. Gently toss them until every sprout is evenly coated in the sweet and tangy maple-Dijon sauce.

          Spread on a Baking Sheet: Transfer the coated Brussels sprouts to a baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer for even roasting. If you're using pecans, sprinkle them generously over the Brussels sprouts for added crunch and flavor.

            Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through the roasting time, stir the sprouts to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a golden-brown color.

              Garnish: After roasting, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before sprinkling fresh parsley on top. This not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the overall flavor.

                Serve: Serve the Brussels sprouts warm as a delightful side dish. You can also enhance their versatility by adding them to a mixed green salad, bringing a burst of flavor and nutrition to your meal!
