Shredded Brussel Sprouts with Maple Syrup

Let me just start off saying I love love love Brussel sprouts. These shredded brussel sprouts are savory, nutty and sweet. This is a great way to switch up your cooking style and add a twist to your signature recipe so it doesn’t get boring. There is something about the combination of maple syrup and brussels sprouts that I just love. Every time I’m at a restaurant and I spot them on the menu I place an order for them. Yep, I love brussel sprouts that much.

Brussel sprouts are so versatile and there are so many different ways to enjoy them + get the benefits of eating green vegetables at the same time. In addition, you can enjoy them any time of year. If you’re not incorporating brussel Sprouts in your meals then you’re missing out..big time.

How to make shredded brussel sprouts

Shredded brussel sprouts are so quick and easy to make. First, simply add the washed and dried brussel sprouts to the food processor. Next, pulse for a few seconds and that’s it. Yep, it’s that easy. If you do not have a food processor you can use a knife to remove cores from the brussel sprouts through the stem ends and discard. Peel off leaves all the way down the center.

Separating the leaves is a nice break from eating brussel sprouts in the traditional way. The sautéed shredded brussel sprouts come together in 10 minutes or less. For the spices, I kept it simple and added a bit of salt and pepper to taste along with the guest of honor..maple syrup. For that crunch, I added some slivered almonds. If you make this recipe for guests I’m sure they’re going to love these sweet and tender-crisp shredded brussel sprouts. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe.
