Sweet & Savory Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I absolutely love the way this dish brings together sweet and savory with the rich green brussels sprouts, the nutty pecans, salty prosciutto, and sticky-sweet Apple Spice syrup.

Ingredients

• 1 pound of brussels sprouts cleaned, tops removed, and cut in half lengthwise

• 1 red onion, diced or thinly sliced

• 1.5 cups of pecan halves

• 6 - 12 oz prosciutto

• 3 tablespoons of avocado oil

• 3 tablespoons of Apple Spice syrup

• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat

• Place the prosciutto on the baking mat, making sure not to overlap

• Bake for 9 - 12 minutes, or until the slices begin to shrivel and turn golden

• Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 5 - 10 minutes; the slices will continue to crisp as they cool

• Once the slices are cool, remove them from the pan and set them aside

• In a large bowl, toss your cut brussles sprouts, sliced onion, pecans, and avocado oil, and stir until everything is well incorporated

• Pour the contents of your bowl onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and season to taste with salt and pepper

• Roast the mixture in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes

• While cooking, roughly chop the crisped prosciutto into bite-sized pieces

• When removed from the oven, drizzle the brussels sprouts with the Apple Spice syrup and gently toss to incorporate

• Move the mixture to a serving platter and top with the chopped crispy prosciutto
