How to Shred Brussels Sprouts
Use the grater attachment of a food processor and feed the sprouts through a few at a time to quickly shred. If you don’t have a food processor, slice each sprout in half and thinly slice with a knife.
Recipe Tip
Don’t want to get out the food processor or slice these by hand? Pre-shredded Brussels sprouts are becoming increasingly common – you might be able to find them in the produce section at your grocery store.
Possible Variations
- Add dried cranberries or dried cherries
- Use walnuts or pecans instead of almonds
- Use goat cheese or feta instead of parmesan
- Add rotisserie chicken to make it a meal
