For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes while cooking the Brussels sprouts.
High-quality balsamic glaze will make a significant difference in the final taste. Look for a thicker, syrupy glaze.
If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a large, heavy-bottomed skillet instead.
To make it vegetarian, skip the bacon, and use olive oil to cook the Brussels sprouts.

  • Kayleigh Collinsstark

    The balsamic glaze adds such a wonderful sweetness to balance the bitterness of the sprouts. So easy to make too!

  • Eino Stromanmclaughlin

    I added a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese at the end, and it was divine!

  • Alessandro Williamson

    Be careful not to overcook the sprouts; they should still have a slight bite to them.
