Ingredients
  

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional for crunch)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil to coat them evenly. Season with salt and black pepper.

      Make the Glaze: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until well combined.

        Combine and Coat: Pour the maple glaze over the Brussels sprouts and toss until they are thoroughly coated.

          Bake: Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

            Add Pecans: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the Brussels sprouts for added crunch and flavor.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
