PIN the Shredded Brussels Sprouts to try them later!

I started paying more attention to how people cook Brussel Sprouts after roasting them made me a fan. And right away I noticed Brussels Sprouts being shredded into thin strips. I love the leaves that fall off and get crispy when you roast Brussels Sprouts, so I decided to try roasting some shredded Brussels Sprouts.

And I’d say these Roasted Shredded Brussels Sprouts were definitely a success. In fact, I ate the entire bowl for lunch when I first tested the recipe! After I’d been making these for a few years I gave the recipe a photo update and I’m also sharing my tips for shredding Brussels Sprouts.

I realize that some families have very determined Brussels Sprouts haters. But I hope you’ll try this if people in your family have learned about the deliciousness of roasted Brussels Sprouts.

How I cut up the shredded Brussels Sprouts:

I used a food processor to shred apart the Brussels Sprouts when I first made these, but some always got sliced the wrong way and didn’t separate. Now I’ve decided that cutting them by hand is best. Use these steps:

1. First cut off the stem end of each Brussels Sprout and take off any discolored or loose outer leaves.
2. Cut each one into fourths, making sure to cut down through the core.
3. Then line up two quarters and slice crosswise, cutting it into four or five slices.
4. Of course, if this is absolutely NOT HAPPENING at your house and you need to use the food processor, that’s up to you!

Can the shredded Brussels Sprouts be made ahead?

You can definitely shred the Brussels Sprouts in advance and store in an air-tight container in the fridge. But they need to be roasted right before you serve them.

Another way to use shredded Brussels Sprouts:

Another recipe that’s a hit with even some Brussels Sprouts avoiders in my family is this amazing Brussels Sprouts Salad with Bacon, Almonds, and Parmesan!

Do Brussels Sprouts smell bad when they’re cooking?

When they’re boiled or cooked too long Brussels Sprouts can have kind of an unpleasant smell. But when they’re quickly cooked by roasting or pan-frying they don’t have a bad smell at all.

How low in carbs are the shredded Brussels Sprouts?

These Brussels Sprouts that are shredded, roasted, and served with almonds and Parmesan have only 7 net carbs per serving with 4 grams of protein!

How to make Roasted Shredded Brussels Sprouts:

(This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)

1. Preheat oven to 400F/205C.
2. For Thanksgiving, I’d shred the Brussels Sprouts earlier in the day. See my tips above for cutting them up with a knife (or use a food processor if that’s the only way you can get this done.)
3. Mix together olive oil and white balsamic vinegar. 
4. Toss the shredded sprouts with olive oil-balsamic mixture, along with a generous amount of fresh ground black pepper and a little salt.
5. Then spread them out on a roasting pan that you brushed with a little olive oil.
6. I roasted them without opening the oven for 10 minutes, and after that much time there were just a few browned edges.
7. I turned them and continued to roast. Hard to tell in this next photo, but after 20 minutes there was more color.
8. I wanted them a little darker, so I put my Brussels Sprouts back in for 5 more minutes.
9. While they went a few more minutes, I toasted the slivered almonds in a dry pan. (They only take a minute or two, so don’t walk away.)
10. After 25 minutes, I had nicely browned edges on most of the Brussels Sprouts, and even the thicker pieces were nicely tender.
11. I wiped out the bowl that I tossed the raw sprouts in, put in the cooked Brussels Sprouts and tossed them with the Parmesan cheese.
12. Then arrange on a plate and sprinkle the toasted almonds over.
13. Serve the Roasted Shredded Brussels Sprouts hot, and try hard not to eat the entire batch!

Roasted Shredded Brussels Sprouts

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Total Time 40 minutes

Roasted Shredded Brussels Sprouts  are a wonderful winter side dish and we made them a bit more special by adding toasted almonds and Parmesan! This recipe is great for Thanksgiving, but Brussels Sprouts fans will make this over and over.

Ingredients

Toggle ingredient group

• 1 lb. brussels sprouts (or a bit more)
• 1 1/2 T olive oil plus about 1-2 tsp. for brushing roasting pan
• 1 tsp. white balsamic vinegar (or more)
• salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
• 3 T coarsely grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 T toasted slivered almonds

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F/205C.
2. Trim the stem end from Brussels Sprouts and remove discolored or loose outer leaves, then cut each one through the core into quarters. Line up two pieces and cut crosswise into four or five pieces. (You can also use the food processor, although it is hard to get them evenly sliced.)
3. Whisk together the olive oil and white balsamic vinegar, then toss the Brussels Sprouts with the oil-vinegar mixture.
4. Season with a generous amount of fresh ground black pepper and some salt.
5. Brush a roasting pan with 1 tsp. of olive oil and arrange Brussels Sprouts on the pan in a single layer (as much as possible).
6. Roast until the Brussels Sprouts are nicely browned on the edges and tender, about 25 minutes. I turned them about every 10 minutes.
7. During the last few minutes of roasting time, put almonds in a dry pan and toast 1-2 minutes, shaking the pan so they don’t burn. Don’t walk away because they go from nicely browned to burned in a few seconds.
8. Wipe out the bowl you used to toss the raw Brussels Sprouts in, and when they're cooked through and browned as much as you’d like, toss the hot sprouts with the coarsely grated Parmesan.
9. Arrange the Roasted Shredded Brussels Sprouts on serving dish, sprinkle almonds over and serve hot.

Notes

Normally a pound of vegetables will serve four people, but these shrink up a bit when they’re roasting, For four servings I'd use slightly more than a pound if you can.
