Description
Balsamic Brussels Sprouts with Pecans are a delightful mix of sweet and savory, featuring a tangy balsamic glaze that complements earthy Brussels sprouts and crunchy pecans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half.
- In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.

Notes
- For a nut-free version, omit the pecans or replace them with sunflower seeds.
- Use apple cider vinegar instead of balsamic for a different flavor profile.
- Ensure your balsamic vinegar is free from additives for a vegan option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
