Once the sprouts are browned, toss in the skillet and roast in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and toss with the chili flakes and the remaining tablespoon of the oil. Roast until tender, 6 to 7 minutes. As soon as the sprouts are out of the oven, sprinkle with the lemon zest and squeeze the lemon half over the top. Toss well.

CRISPY BACON FAT BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Some Brussels sprouts recipes call for bacon, but here's a little secret: Bacon fat will give you the same subtle bacon-y flavor. Just make sure you strain it through a coffee filter or something similar to remove any stray bits (which will burn.) This simple technique for cooking Brussels sprouts yields the crispiest results imaginable and--bonus--it's mostly hands-off.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Slice the Brussels sprouts lengthwise into thirds. If some of the outer leaves fall off, that's okay; don't discard them--they'll crisp up nicely in the oven. Transfer the sprouts to a bowl, add the bacon fat, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss to combine. Spread them out on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the smaller sprouts are crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the crispy sprouts to a serving plate. With tongs, flip over the remaining sprouts (flipping them individually makes for the crispiest results). Return to the oven and bake until deeply browned and crisp all over, 5 to 10 more minutes.

QUINOA BOWL WITH CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS, EGGPLANT AND TAHINI
There's a lot going on in this satisfying grain bowl, topped with crunchy vegetables, a creamy lemon-tahini dressing and plenty of fresh mint. Feel free to substitute any cooked grain for the quinoa: Brown rice or millet would work just as well as a base for the roasted brussels sprouts with their blackened edges, and the soft, velvety eggplant. If you love tahini dressing, consider doubling it. Any left over will keep for a week in the fridge and can be used as a salad dressing or dip.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Make the tahini dressing: Whisk together lemon juice, garlic and salt in a medium bowl. Let sit for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in oil, a few drops at a time, until emulsified. Whisk in tahini and enough water (by the teaspoon) to make a thin pourable sauce; taste and add more salt and lemon juice if needed. Set aside.
- Prepare the grain bowl: Place the brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet, and the eggplant on another. Toss all vegetables with just enough olive oil and salt to coat. Roast brussels sprouts for 17 to 22 minutes and eggplant for 20 to 30 minutes, until vegetables are browned and tender. Toss vegetables once or twice while roasting.
- While vegetables are in the oven, make the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, place quinoa, 2 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, and then lower to a simmer for 15 minutes, until the grains soften and water is absorbed. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey or agave, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the red-pepper flakes. As soon as the eggplant is done, toss immediately with the lemon red-pepper mixture to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
- To serve, place quinoa in four bowls. Divide brussels sprouts, eggplant and tomatoes among the bowls, mounding the vegetables next to one another on top of the quinoa. Generously drizzle tahini dressing over the bowls and garnish with mint and more red-pepper flakes.
Tips:
- Choose the right Brussels sprouts: Look for firm, bright green sprouts with tightly closed leaves.
- Trim the Brussels sprouts: Cut off the brown or wilted outer leaves and the stem end.
- Wash the Brussels sprouts: Rinse the sprouts under cold water and drain them well.
- Halve or quarter the Brussels sprouts: For smaller sprouts, halve them lengthwise. For larger sprouts, quarter them.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts with oil and seasonings: In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
- Serve the Brussels sprouts: Roasted Brussels sprouts can be served immediately as a side dish or used in salads, grain bowls, or other dishes.
