Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts
- 1 large apple (honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Optional: thyme or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Toss in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Toast the walnuts in a small pan over medium heat until fragrant.
