Materials

  • 1 lb brussels sprouts

Instructions

  • Wash your brussels sprouts before you prep them. Place them in a bowl or colander and run cold water over them. Move them around with your hand or a spoon to make sure that they all get a good wash.
    Drain, and then pat them dry
  • Trim each brussels sprout by cutting off the stems. Only cut off 1/4 inch or so keeping the core intact so that the leaves of the brussel sprout stays intact also.
    If there are any wilted or discolored leaves toss them.
  • Just like it says, go ahead and cut them in half. Stand them on the cut stem end and slice them down the middle. Save any good looking leaves, these are so good when roasted!
  • Using a knife to shred your brussels sprouts is simple and easy! Follow the last 3 steps and then lay each half with the cut side down and make thin slices into each half working your way across the sprout.
    You can also do this using a food processer with the grater attatchment if you have one.
