My husband is a huge brussels sprouts fan. I am starting to like them and hopefully, if I keep coming up with recipes like this one, I will love them. That’s right – even a non-brussels person like me LOVED this recipe.

three simple ingredients

OK, there are really four ingredients if you include the olive oil. The jury is still out on including things like oil, salt, pepper, and other seasonings. So I’m gonna just go with it and say oil is not an official ingredient so Sweet and Sour Glazed Brussels Sprouts are legitimately a three-ingredient recipe.

  1. Brussels Sprouts
  2. Toasted Pecans
  3. Your favorite Sweet and Sour Sauce

There you have it, three ingredients.

pee-can or puh-Kahn?

Do you say Pee-Can nuts or Puh-Kahn nuts? I actually say it both ways for no particular reason. Saying Puh-Kahn just seems a bit more sophisticated, but I really have nothing to base that on. But, Pee-Can, on the other hand, is so much more fun to say.

So I put them to the test. I simply Googled “how to pronounce Pecan…and the winner is Puh-Kahn or Puh-Kaan as they put it. Either way is fine, just make sure you add the pecans to the recipe because the nuttiness really adds to the caramelized flavor.

krazy kitchen mom tips for sweet and sour glazed Brussels sprouts

  • To prepare the brussels sprouts:
    • Trim off the stem. I like to cut them very close to the leaves so there is almost no stem at all.
    • Peel off the two or three outer leaves and then wash the sprouts.
    • Dry them off with a paper towel.
    • Cut them in half length-wise. I like to cut them so that there is more surface area for caramelization while cooking.
  • Toast the pecans before adding them to this dish. See the recipe card on how to toast the pecans.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days in an airtight container.

    Geoffrey doesn’t like brussels sprouts and for that reason, I never cook them. I ate but I haven’t decided if I love them or not. your recipe looks absolutely delicious with the glaze.
