For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Brussels sprouts before roasting. If you don't have time to brine for a full hour, even a 30-minute brine will make a noticeable difference. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet! Overcrowding will steam the sprouts instead of roasting them, resulting in soggy sprouts. Use two baking sheets if necessary. A squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic glaze adds a bright, acidic finish to the roasted sprouts.
