Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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
  • handful of pecans (roughly chopped)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
  • Cut the brussels sprouts in half. Add the brussels sprouts, onions and apples together onto a silpat lined or foil greased baking sheet.
  • Mix the olive oil, maple syrup, salt and pepper together then drizzle over brussels sprouts mixture. Stir until everything is thoroughly coated (you can use your hands if you want).
  • Turn all of the Brussels sprouts halves with the cut side down. This ensures that they get beautifully caramelised. Add some thyme sprigs to the baking sheets on top of or around the vegetables.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, shaking the pan a few times while baking, until apples are tender, onions soft and brussels sprouts begin to caramelise. You'll want to watch it around the 30 minute mark that it doesn't burn. Some of the Brussels sprouts skins may darken a lot, but they still taste delicious (and not burnt).
  • Serve alongside caramelised pecans and soft vegan cheese (optional). Enjoy!
