The base of this recipe calls for 2 pounds of Brussels sprouts, which can be shaved/shredded 3 different ways: Method 1: Thinly Slice Them With a Knife To shred your brussels sprouts, you can cut off the ends, halve them, then thinly slice them, taking care to try to slice them as thinly as possible. This method can be a bit tedious, especially when working with a large quantity, but you can speed it up by lining up the halved brussels sprouts and slicing a few of them at one time. Method 2: Shred the Brussels Sprouts in Your Food Processor I am always reluctant to drag out my food processor (so many parts to clean!), but in this instance, your food processor will save you a TON of time with shredding the sprouts and is definitely worth the extra bit of effort. Just use the slicing blade on your food processor and feed in the Brussels sprouts until they are all sliced. Method 3: Buy them Pre-Shredded There’s no shame hitting the easy button and buying pre-shredded Brussels sprouts. I’ve been able to find these at my local grocery store, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods for a reasonable price.
