Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Grapes with Pecans

With the arrival of Fall, my favorite magazines have been covered with all sorts of vegetables to roast.  Inspired by the latest cover of Whole Living magazine (November 2011), I did some experimental roasting today and roasted brussel sprouts, red seedless grapes, and pecan halves.  I served it over a plate of quinoa and it was DIVINE.  So healthy and light, but the grapes added just a little bit of sweetness while the roasted pecans had that wonderful nutty meat that we all love.

16 oz. Brussel Sprouts - halved
8 oz. Red Seedless Grapes
1/2 cup of Pecan Halves
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, toss brussel sprouts, grapes, and pecans with olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper.  Spread on a baking sheet and roast on the top rack of the oven for 20 minutes.
