Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?

Technically yes, but fresh is best Frozen sprouts release too much water while roasting and won't get that perfect crispiness we love. If you must, thaw completely and pat very dry first.

How do I make this vegetarian?

Easy-peasy, Skip the bacon and add smoked paprika (about 1/2 teaspoon) with the oil. For texture, toss in chopped toasted pecans after roasting. You'll still get that smoky-sweet magic

What's the best maple syrup substitute?

Real maple syrup is ideal, but in a pinch? Honey works (use 1 tablespoon less since it's sweeter). For deeper flavor, try half honey half balsamic glaze - my secret emergency swap
