Ingredients
  

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

¼ cup crushed pecans or walnuts for garnish

Fresh parsley or chives 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 mixing bowl, add the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts. Make sure they are uniform in size for even roasting.

      Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.

        Coat the Sprouts: Pour the dressing over the Brussels sprouts and toss everything together until the sprouts are evenly coated.

          Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s enough space between them for proper roasting.

            Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sprouts are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through to promote even cooking.

              Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven. Transfer them to a serving bowl and sprinkle with crushed pecans or walnuts for added crunch. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for a burst of color.

                Enjoy!: Serve warm as a delectable side dish to your main course, or even as a healthy snack.
