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 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 balances the flavor and I promise you, everyone will be asking for more!
