Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the Brussels sprouts with pancetta, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar. Place in a casserole pan and cover the pan with a sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil.
- Roast for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue roasting until the Brussels sprouts are lightly browned around the edges, about 10 to 15 minutes more. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Melt the butter and remaining tablespoon brown sugar in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat, stirring every few minutes. Once the sugar has melted, add the pecans and stir to coat. Let them sit for a few minutes until they smell toasty, then stir. Continue to stir every few minutes until most of the pecans are lightly browned and very aromatic.
- Remove the pan from the heat and empty the mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with Reynolds® Parchment Paper. Smooth the pecans so they are in one layer, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the nuts to harden, then remove the pan and separate the pecans by hand.
- Toss the roasted Brussels sprouts with caramelized pecans before serving.

CARAMELIZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PECANS
From the Voluptuous Vegan. Sounds delicious. I'll probably be trying this real soon, so I'll have an update for anyone who's interested. A 1/4 pound of bruseel sprouts is considered to be 20 small or 10 large. The cookbook gives you a choice with the pearl onions that I could not include in the list of ingredients, and that is you could use red pearl onions.

Tips:
- Select firm and vibrant Brussels sprouts with tightly closed leaves. Avoid any with yellowing or wilted leaves. - To prepare Brussels sprouts, trim the stem end and remove any damaged or discolored outer leaves. - For even caramelization, cut the Brussels sprouts into uniform-sized halves or quarters. - Melting butter before adding the Brussels sprouts helps prevent burning and promotes even browning. - Use a large skillet or pan to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking. - Avoid stirring the Brussels sprouts excessively while cooking. This can break them apart and hinder caramelization. - Add a flavorful liquid, such as vegetable broth or white wine, to the pan to create a flavorful glaze. - To enhance the caramelization process, sprinkle a bit of sugar or honey over the Brussels sprouts towards the end of cooking. - For added crunch and texture, incorporate nuts like pecans, almonds, or walnuts into the dish. - Serve caramelized Brussels sprouts as a delectable side dish or as a delectable vegetarian main course.Conclusion:
Caramelized Brussels sprouts are a delightful and versatile dish that can elevate any meal. Their naturally sweet flavor, enhanced by the caramelization process, pairs beautifully with savory dishes like grilled meats, poultry, or fish.
