Steps:

- Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until bubbly. Add the brussels sprouts and seasoned salt. Stir and cook, tossing frequently, until barely tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Add the brown sugar, pepper and reserved pecans to the skillet. Toss the brussels sprouts to coat and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar is melted and the brussels sprouts are coated in the melted sugar and pecans, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a warm serving dish and serve immediately.
ROASTED BRUSSEL SPROUTS WITH HONEY & PECANS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Start by slicing the ends off of each sprout and cutting them in half. Drizzle on about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, just enough to coat each sprout. Toss in a good-sized pinch of kosher salt and ground pepper. Gently stir the sprouts to coat them in oil, but be careful not to stir too vigorously as to break them apart. Turn the sprout out on to a cookie sheet lined with non-stick aluminum foil. Roast at 400°F for about 20 to 30 minutes, using a spatula to turn them half way through cooking. While they're roasting, add 1 tablespoon of butter to a small saucepan, followed by 1 tablespoon honey. Warm the honey butter on low heat until combined. Add 1/4 cup of chopped pecans to a small cookie sheet and roast them along with the sprouts for about 4 to 5 minutes until they are perfectly roasted. Remove the sprouts and pour on the honey butter and top with the pecans and gently toss.
Tips:
- Choose the right Brussels sprouts: Smaller Brussels sprouts are more tender and flavorful. Look for sprouts that are about 1-2 inches in diameter, with tightly packed leaves.
- Trim the sprouts: Use a sharp knife to trim the stem end of each Brussels sprout. You can also remove any yellow or damaged leaves.
- Roast the sprouts at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious roasted flavor. Aim for a temperature of 400-425°F (200-220°C).
- Toss the sprouts with oil and seasonings: This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or melted butter. Season the sprouts with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
- Roast the sprouts until they are tender: The roasting time will vary depending on the size of the Brussels sprouts. Smaller sprouts will take about 15-20 minutes to roast, while larger sprouts may take 25-30 minutes.
- Add the pecans: Once the Brussels sprouts are tender, add the pecans to the pan and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pecans are toasted.
- Serve immediately: Roasted Brussels sprouts are best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme.
Conclusion:
Roasted Brussels sprouts with pecans are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The sprouts are roasted until they are tender and caramelized, and the pecans add a nice crunch and nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
