In a saucepan on medium-high, heat oil and place sprouts cut-side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; sauté approx. 1–2 minutes.
Using a wooden spoon, move the sprouts but allow them to continue to be cut side down. Add butter and brown sugar and continue to sauté an additional 2 minutes.
Add maple syrup and vinegar and continue to sauté 7 more minutes until sprouts are crisp-tender.
Remove sprouts and allow the sauce to reduce until it thickens a bit. Return sprouts to pan and stir in toasted pecans; serve
