Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Bacon is the best way to cook brussels on a weeknight. This recipe is so simple and much faster than roasting!
My husband and I love roasted Brussels sprouts. They are nutty, crunchy and delicious. But on a weeknight, I am always rushed to get dinner on the table. That’s why this shaved brussels sprouts recipe is a MUST for busy moms like me… or anyone for that matter.
Just five ingredients create a smoky, tangy bite that pairs perfectly with poultry, pork or beef. Here’s what you need:
- Brussels sprouts
- Bacon
- Red onion
- Salt & Pepper
- White Wine Vinegar
The easiest way to shave brussels sprouts
Hand sliced Brussel sprouts are the best way to create perfectly shaved greens. But in order to make this dish in under 20 minutes, I recommend the food processor as a shortcut. The key is to shred in two batches, gently pulsing 8-10 times. You want small pieces like the image below so be careful not to overdo it.
