Ingredients
  

1 ½ lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

½ cup pecans, roughly chopped

½ cup panko breadcrumbs

½ cup Gruyère cheese, shredded (or your favorite cheese)

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's ready for baking.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with the extra virgin olive oil, pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss the mixture thoroughly until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the dressing.

      Incorporate the Pecans: Add the roughly chopped pecans to the bowl and gently stir them in, ensuring they are well distributed among the Brussels sprouts.

        Layer in Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch (or similar-sized) baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray. Pour the Brussels sprouts mixture into the dish, spreading it out in a single layer for uniform cooking and roasting.

          Prepare the Panko Topping: In a separate small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the shredded Gruyère cheese. Mix them together until they are well combined, then sprinkle this crunchy topping generously over the Brussels sprouts.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it until the Brussels sprouts are tender when pierced with a fork and the topping is golden brown and crispy.

              Garnish and Serve: When ready, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Just before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.
