Ingredients
  

1 ½ lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup pecans, roughly chopped

½ cup panko breadcrumbs

½ cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or any cheese of your preference)

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to toss the ingredients well, ensuring the sprouts are evenly coated in the delicious mixture.

      Incorporate Pecans: Add the roughly chopped pecans to the Brussels sprouts mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the pecans, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout.

        Layer in Baking Dish: Transfer the Brussels sprouts and pecan mixture to a greased 9x13 inch (or similar-sized) baking dish. Spread the mixture out in a single layer to promote even cooking and browning.

          Prepare Panko Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and shredded Gruyère cheese. This will create a delightful crispy topping. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the Brussels sprouts, ensuring every sprout is generously covered for a satisfying crunch.

            Bake the Dish: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it; the dish is ready when the Brussels sprouts are fork-tender and the topping has turned a beautiful golden brown and crispy.

              Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving. For a pop of color and freshness, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
