Ingredients
- Two pounds of Brussels sprouts sliced in half lengthwise
- Four ounces of pancetta roughly chopped
- Three tablespoons of high-quality extra virgin olive oil
- One and a half teaspoons of kosher salt, split into portions
- Two tablespoons of rich dark brown sugar, divided into two parts
- A tablespoon of unsalted butter
- A generous cup of whole pecans
- Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil
Step 1
Preheat your oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit for the perfect roasting environment. Begin by gently mixing together the Brussels sprouts, savory pancetta, a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a generous tablespoon of rich brown sugar. Transfer this delightful medley to a trusty casserole pan, ensuring even distribution, and cover it snugly with a sheet of trusty Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil.
Step 2
Allow the flavors to mingle and intensify in the heat for about 30 minutes before unveiling the pan and returning it to the oven. Continue roasting until the Brussels sprouts develop a lovely golden hue around the edges, usually taking an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Once done, set the pan aside to cool down and let the aromas waft through your kitchen.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat, melt a dollop of butter with another tablespoon of brown sugar, stirring occasionally to create a sweet, caramelized base. Once the sugar has dissolved, introduce the pecans and coat them lovingly with the sugary mixture. Allow the pecans to toast gently until they release a fragrant aroma, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 4
When the pecans are beautifully browned and exuding a delightful scent, remove the pan from the heat and transfer the contents onto a spacious baking sheet lined with Reynolds® Parchment Paper. Spread out the pecans into a single layer, sprinkle them with a hint of salt, and pop the sheet into the freezer for a quick 10-minute chill session. Once the nuts have hardened, take them out and carefully separate the deliciously caramelized pecans by hand.
Step 5
Just before serving, combine the roasted Brussels sprouts with the luscious caramelized pecans for a delightful flavor explosion. Enjoy the harmonious blend of savory and sweet notes in every bite.
