Print Recipe

A quick and easy roasted Brussels sprouts recipe featuring a sweet and tangy maple Dijon glaze and crunchy toasted pecans, perfect for holiday sides or weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans (60 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim off the stem ends and peel away any yellow or damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Slice them in half lengthwise.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, avocado or olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat each piece with the glaze.
  5. Spread the sprouts cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Roast for 20-25 minutes until edges are deep golden brown and crisp. Optionally shake the pan or flip sprouts halfway through.
  7. While roasting, toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring often until fragrant and lightly browned.
  8. When sprouts are done, toss them gently with the toasted pecans.
  9. If desired, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.

Notes

Use high heat (425°F) to get crispy edges. Toss pecans near the end to keep them crunchy. If glaze thickens too much during roasting, sprinkle a little water and toss gently. Fresh lemon juice brightens the dish. Store sprouts and pecans separately for best leftover texture.
