This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think next time I'll add some more garlic and maybe some red pepper flakes.

I added some crumbled bacon to this dish and it was amazing! The smokiness of the bacon really took the dish to the next level.

I'm not a big fan of brussels sprouts, but I really enjoyed this dish. The roasting process mellowed out the flavor of the sprouts and they were perfectly crispy.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still good. I think next time I'll use less cheese or maybe a different type of cheese.
