Listen to the Flavors

Ingredients 3 lbs. brussels sprouts 2 cups raw pecan halves 2 Tbsp. maple syrup 1/2 cup olive oil Salt and pepper White wine vinegar (optional) Roast the Sprouts Preheat the oven to 410 degrees. Get a large baking sheet ready. Line it with parchment paper to make it easier to clean later. Rinse the brussels sprouts and trim off the ends. Slice them in half, or quarter them if they're the really big ones. Toss them in a big bowl with the olive oil. Drizzle it all over and toss together to evenly coat the little gems. Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet (which if it isn't lined with parchment, should be oiled). Sprinkle all over with salt and a little pepper. Pop into the oven and set the timer for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the pecans. After 30 minutes, stir the sprouts and then roast them for another 10 to 20 minutes, whenever they look golden brown but not burned. After the first 30, I set the timer for 10 and then another 5 and 5

Wow. Have I really not posted anything here in four years? Hmm. It's probably not coincidental that four years is how long I've been at Salesforce. I guess I've been busy. But I'd like to get back to dabbling in a little food writing, or something like it.
