For extra flavor, consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze after roasting. To toast the pine nuts, spread them on a dry baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden, watching carefully to prevent burning. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey to the Brussels sprouts before roasting. For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with smoked paprika and a touch of liquid smoke to achieve a similar smoky flavor.
