  • Cook the Bacon Properly: Cook the bacon until it's crispy but not burnt. This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the dish.
  • Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the Brussels sprouts. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting.
  • Add the Pistachios and Balsamic Vinegar: Add the chopped pistachios and balsamic vinegar towards the end of the cooking process. This will prevent the pistachios from burning and preserve the delicate flavor of the balsamic vinegar.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately after cooking to enjoy them at their best.
