"Jean-Georges Vongerichten first created this side dish as an all-green one, using pistachios. 'When I tried it with pecans, though, it was even better,' he says. The unconventional combination plays with textures (crisp roasted sprouts, creamy avocado) and flavors: 'When you roast Brussels sprouts, they get sweeter; but when you warm avocado, it gets a little more bitter."
