Adaped from Gourmet

½ cup pecan halves

2 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp maple syrup (the fake stuff is fine)

2 lb Brussels sprouts

2 cloves garlic, minced

In a toaster oven (or regular oven), broil pecans until fragrant. Mix with butter and maple syrup in a small bowl and set aside.

Trim ends of Brussels sprouts and cut sprouts in half. Cook in boiling water until just soft.
