Make

Heat oven to 400F / 204C. Place one oven rack in the upper third and another oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
Toss Brussels sprouts with garlic, vinegar, olive oil (portion for Brussels sprouts), and some salt and pepper. Spread out on one sheet pan. Roast on the lower rack of the oven for 18 to 22 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through cooking.
Meanwhile, spread bread out in a single layer on a second sheet pan. Brush bread with olive oil (portion for toasts). Scatter walnuts around bread. Bake on the upper rack of the oven until bread and walnuts are golden brown and toasted, 4 to 8 minutes.
When walnuts are toasted, roughly chop.
When Brussels sprouts are done roasting, toss with lemon juice.
Assemble toasts by spreading bread with ricotta. Top with chopped walnuts, figs, a drizzle of honey, and some fresh-cracked black pepper. Serve toasts with Brussels sprouts on the side. Enjoy!
