I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

Brussels sprouts were a little too charred for my taste, but the overall flavor was good. I'll try roasting them for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was easy to make and so delicious. The roasted Brussels sprouts were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The figs and bacon added a nice touch of sweetness and saltiness. I will definitely be making this again!

These roasted Brussels sprouts were a hit! The combination of sweet figs, salty bacon, and crispy sprouts was perfect. I also loved the addition of balsamic vinegar, which gave the dish a nice tang. Will definitely be making this again!
