• For extra flavour, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to the Brussels sprouts.
• You can also use pancetta or prosciutto instead of bacon.

• These Brussels sprouts can be made ahead of time and reheated. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
