Such an easy and tasty way to have Brussels Sprouts. Love the combination of onions and pecans with the Brussels Sprouts. Also love that can just put them in the oven and then do other things. Thanks so much for the post

My husband doesn't like brussels sprouts, so I made this for me. I scaled the recipe down for one person and skipped the butter and it was still wonderful! I very seldom make something just for me and I'm so glad I made this! Thanks!

These are delicious!! I have never made Brussels Sprouts before, but these are great. I made them without the butter to make them a little healthier. Would also be great if you added bacon to the recipe!
