1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for added depth)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

            Cool and Garnish: Once done, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

              Serve: Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for drizzling . Enjoy the sweet and savory explosion of flavors!
