 ½ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
 ¼ cup maple syrup
 ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

 zest of 1 lemon
1

Heat a large skillet over high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When hot, add the Brussels sprouts and season with salt.

2

Let the sprouts cook, undisturbed for about 1 minute before moving around to make sure that they get caramelized.

3

Toss and cook for an additional minute and then remove from the pan to a plate.

4

Add the remaining olive oil and the scallions and walnuts. Toss until the walnuts are toasted and the scallions are slightly caramelized, about 2 minutes.

5

Add in the apple cider and let reduce for 30 seconds and then add the maple syrup. Bring to a simmer and add in the red pepper flakes and a little more salt.

6

Stir the Brussels back into the pan and toss to coat. Remove to a platter, top with the lemon zest, and serve.
