Let’s Make the Roasted Shaved Brussel Sprouts

First Step, rinse the Brussel Sprouts under cold water and remove the wilted or damaged leaves.

How Shave Brussel Sprouts?

Second Step, is to Shave the Brussel Sprouts. You can do this with a food processor or a knife.

You can make Shaved Brussel Sprouts in two ways.

Quickest Option is using a Food Processor.

• If you are working with a lot of Brussel Sprouts, a food processor will be the quickest option. You will have shaved sprouts in about 3o seconds.
• With the food processor you want to trim the ends of the Brussel Sprouts and use the slicing blade on the food processor.
• Turn on the food processor and add in the Brussel Sprouts. You don’t want to pulse the Brussel Sprouts since we want thin slices. Added the shaved Brussel Sprouts to a bowl.

Second Option is using a Knife.

• First rinse and remove any damaged leaves.
• Slice the Brussel Sprout in half lengthwise. Lay the Brussel Sprout facing flat down and begin creating thin strips with the knife and discard the end. When cutting vegetables you want a stable flat surface. It is a safer that way.
• Once the Brussel Sprouts are sliced you can peel apart the shavings with your hands. Add the shaved Brussel Sprouts to a bowl.

You can make the shaved Brussel Sprouts in advance and store in the refrigerator whether you are using knife or a food processor.

Let’s Make the Dressing!

This dressing is very simple to make. In a small bowl add in the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes, then whisk together and set aside.

Let’s Assemble this dish!

Take the shaved Brussel Sprouts and mix with the Balsamic dressing.

Once the dressing and Brussel Sprouts are mixed together. You want to transfer the Brussel Sprouts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Evenly spread the shaved Brussel Sprouts on the baking sheet. You can salt and pepper to taste. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes until lightly browned.

Remove from the oven and add in the chopped apples and walnuts and mix together. Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice and mix together. Ready to be served. Can be serves warm or room temperature. Refrigerate any left overs.

Also, you can freshen up any left overs. Add in a little bit of fresh lemon juice. They’ll be good in the refrigerator about 3 days.
