Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 cups brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon oil (I use avocado oil or olive oil)
  • Salt to taste

Garlic Pecans

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. 
  • Spread the trimmed and halved brussels sprouts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
  • Spread the brussels sprouts in a single layer, cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  • Roast for 20-30 minutes until perfectly roasted and crisp on the outside. Keep an eye on them during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking to avoid burning. The size of the brussels sprouts will affect the baking time. I like to keep mine closer to the 30 minutes to get them crispier. 
  • While the sprouts are roasting, prepare the garlic pecans: In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients together. Spread on a baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes at 400F. You can wait for the sprouts to be done or you can add them during the last 5 minutes of cooking. 
  • Top the roasted brussels sprouts with the garlic pecans. Enjoy!
