Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. Spread pecans out on a small baking sheet and toast in oven until fragrant and deep brown, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 2 generous pinches salt, then add brussels sprouts and boil until just soft when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut brussels sprouts in half lengthwise and set aside.

Step 2

Heat butter and oil together in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and brussels sprouts and saute, stirring often, until brussels sprouts are golden brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Stir in pecans. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
