Ingredients
  

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped (optional)

Fresh thyme, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well coated.

      Roast: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized, stirring once halfway through.

        Make the Maple Glaze: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, combine the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow it to reduce slightly, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens. Remove from heat.

          Combine: Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, drizzle the maple glaze over them and stir to coat evenly. If using pecans, sprinkle them over the top and gently toss to combine.

            Serve: Transfer the glazed Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and garnish with fresh thyme, if desired. Serve warm as a delightful side dish!
