Can I make this recipe vegan?

Absolutely! This recipe is already vegan-friendly as it uses plant-based ingredients. Just ensure your pecans are not roasted in butter.

How can I store leftovers?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in a skillet on medium heat for that crispy texture.

What can I serve with these Brussels sprouts?

These Brussels sprouts pair well with various dishes, such as roasted chicken, quinoa salad, or creamy risotto. You can also serve them alongside appetizers for a festive gathering.

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?

While fresh Brussels sprouts are recommended for the best texture, you can use frozen ones. Just ensure they are thawed and drained before cooking to avoid excess moisture.
