Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 30 minutes mins
Total Time 40 minutes mins
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup toasted pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries or pomegranate arils
- Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil, balsamic, and honey. Sprinkle with the salt and several grinds of pepper and toss to coat. Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer, leaving a little space around each one.
Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown around the edges. The exact timing will depend on the size of your sprouts. Season to taste.
Transfer to a serving dish and gently toss with the pecans and cranberries. Garnish with parsley and serve.
