- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
- 2 tbsp honey

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, maple syrup (or honey), sea salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Cooking
- Place the sprouts cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through until they are golden and crispy.
- While the sprouts are roasting, heat a dry skillet over medium heat, add chopped walnuts, and toast for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- In a small saucepan, warm honey and apple cider vinegar over low heat until bubbling; stir in toasted walnuts and remove from heat.
Assembly
- Once the Brussels sprouts are done, thread 4–5 roasted sprouts onto each wooden skewer.
- Drizzle the warm walnut honey glaze over the skewers and sprinkle with fresh thyme, if using.
