The full recipe with ingredients/instructions is available on the recipe card at the bottom of the post. Important tips/tricks are also included in the blog post.

Love them or hate them, Brussels sprouts are a must have at any Thanksgiving or Christmas table, and I promise you, everyone will love these sautéed shredded Brussels sprouts!

Cooked with apple and honey and finished with blue cheese crumbles, this sweet and salty side dish will work wonderfully with your Thanksgiving Turkey. I started making my sprouts this way when I wanted a quick way to make brussels sprouts. Roasting them in the oven can take up to 30 minutes, but this method takes about 5 minutes of cooking time on the stove.

The only significant prep you really need to do is wash the sprouts and shred them.

How to make sautéed shredded Brussels sprouts

Gather your ingredients. Shred the sprouts and apple in your food processor.

Heat oil over medium heat in a large 12-14 inch skillet. Add brussels sprouts in a single layer and allow to cook undisturbed for 1 minute to crisp the bottom.

Add the shredded apples and stir. Continue to cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are tender.

Stir in honey and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and sprinkle with blue cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.

Can you make them ahead of time?

This healthy side dish is so quick to cook, and the sprouts are at their best right out of the skillet. To get ahead of things, you can shred the sprouts a day or two before you are due to serve them and keep them covered in the fridge. Don't pre-shred the apple, or it will brown.

Leftovers will keep well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days and you can reheat them in the skillet to serve.

What do you serve them with?

I enjoy these sautéed shredded Brussels sprouts as part of a quick and easy weeknight meal, but they of course won't be out of place at any Thanksgiving or holiday table. Try them with your other favorite sides and these mains:

  • Roasted Air Fryer Turkey Breast (Bone-In or Boneless)
  • Mustard Glazed Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin
  • Air Fried Spatchcock Chicken
  • Perfect Air Fryer Steak with Garlic Herb Butter
  • Salmon Wellington

How do you make Brussels sprouts not taste bitter?

If you usually don't like the bitterness of spouts, I'm here to change your mind with this recipe! By finely shredding the sprouts, you allow the chemical that produces a bitter flavor to escape during cooking, and that's why even the sprout haters will love this!

The blue cheese and honey also balance the flavor, and I promise you, everyone will be asking for more!

Tanya's Top Tips

  • You can purchase shredded brussels sprouts or shred your own with the slicing disk of a food processor.
  • Shredded brussels sprouts can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
  • Use the shredding disk of a food processor to shred the apples.
  • If you're not a fan of blue cheese, feel free to substitute it with feta, goat cheese, or even Parmesan for a milder flavor.
