Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, or until tender. Transfer sprouts to a mixing bowl and add pecans. Mix well. Pour mixture into serving bowl, top with pomegranate seeds and molasses, if using. Serve warm.
