For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet while sautéing the aromatics. To ensure even cooking, select Brussels sprouts of a similar size. If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with a plant-based alternative and use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock. A splash of maple syrup at the end can add a touch of sweetness that complements the balsamic vinegar. These are best served immediately.
