Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts ends trimmed and outer leaves removed
  • 1 medium red onion cut in wedges
  • 1 large apple cored and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3-4 sprigs of thyme
  • 1 handful pecans raw, toasted, or candied

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400F, and line a baking sheet with a silpat or aluminum foil.
  • Cut the Brussels sprouts in half, then place them on the lined baking sheet with the apples and onions.
  • Mix the olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper together in a bowl, then drizzle it over the Brussels sprouts mixture. Toss until everything is thoroughly coated.
  • Turn all of the Brussels sprouts so that their cut side is facing down. This ensures that they all get perfectly caramelized.
  • Place sprigs of thyme on top of and around the veggies.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, shaking the pan a few times while baking, until the apples are tender, the onions are soft, and the Brussels sprouts begin to caramelize. You'll want to watch it closely around the 30-minute mark so that it doesn't burn. Some of the Brussels sprouts skins may darken a lot, but they still taste delicious.
  • Top with pecans and optional soft vegan cheese, and serve while hot.
