Ingredients
These Brussels sprouts are prepared by finely shredding them in a food processor before tossing them with minimal ingredients and roasting them until crispy golden perfection. Easy to make, crispy, and delicious!
Brussels Sprouts: The main ingredient! Use a food processor or a sharp knife and shred until fine!
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: Use a good quality of extra-virgin olive oil for the best results. Oil is needed to help crisp up the shredded Brussels sprouts.
Maple Syrup: For a hint of sweetness!
Balsamic Vinegar: Balsamic is a mix of sweet and sour and adds a wonderful flavor to the Brussels sprouts.
Kosher Salt & Pepper: Seasoning! Garlic powder, onion powder, and ground mustard would be delicious as well.

Substitutions & Additions
Brussels Sprouts: You want to use fresh Brussels sprouts here not frozen!
Maple Syrup: Pure maple syrup is best. Agave and brown sugar could work as well. I don't recommend using pancake syrup.
Balsamic Vinegar: Simply omit. Brussels sprouts are delicious with just salt and pepper.

As a topping: I love serving these shaved Brussels sprouts as a topping for Silken Tofu Pasta or Butternut Squash Soup. It would also be really tasty on a pizza or flatbread.

In a grain bowl: Serve with a plant-based protein and a grain like quinoa or rice.
In a salad: Toss with lettuce, apple, dried cranberries, and sweet potato and pair it with some Maple Dijon Dressing for a delicious fall salad.
Tips & Tricks
Recipes like this one are easy to customize and change but here are a few tips to keep in mind when making these vegan shredded Brussels.
Not all salts are made equal and cannot be substituted 1:1. If you are substituting table salt for kosher salt, you will need to cut the amount called for in the recipe by at least half.
Short on time? Trader Joe's has pre-shredded Brussels sprouts! Check your local grocery store as well.
Use two baking trays. Aim for an even, shallow layer of shaved Brussels sprouts to avoid overcrowding. This will help them roast and get crispy.
Keep an eye on the sprouts! They burn quickly if you're not keeping a watch. Every oven is different so check on them very often, especially during the last 5 minutes.
Storage
Storage: These roasted Brussels sprouts are best served immediately but will last in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Preheat the oven to 350F and heat for 5-7 minutes or until crispy. Be careful though- they burn quickly! I don't recommend using a microwave to reheat this side dish.
Frequently Asked Questions

They lose crispiness once cooled and stored in the fridge. But you can save time by shredding the Brussels ahead of time.
