Ingredients

1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups of Brussel sprouts trimmed and halved
1 cup seedless red grapes
8 figs halved
Leaves from 6 sprigs of thyme
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup candied pecans chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Toss the Brussel sprouts, grapes and figs with the olive oil and lay on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with thyme leaves, salt and pepper.
Roast for about 30-35 minutes, turning the Brussels sprouts at least once to evenly roast.
Once the Brussel sprouts are caramelized, and the grapes and figs are slightly shriveled, remove from the oven, and coat with the aged balsamic vinegar.
Top with the candied pecans and serve warm.

Notes

Roasting Brussel sprouts allows them to caramelize and develop a ton of flavour all on their own, so you also don’t need to add a ton of fat. A little bit of olive oil is enough!

Don’t be worried that you are burning the Brussel sprouts. There is so much flavour from a caramelized sprout that you’re going to want to let them darken in colour.

Brussel sprouts have lots of fibre, antioxidants, and are low in calories so this is a great side dish to have to balance out heavier holiday mains.
