Tips on How to Make Shaved Brussels Sprouts
- Easy Prep: Shaving the brussels sprouts or slicing them thin ahead of time stores perfectly in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- So when you come home, you just have to heat up the skillet and saute the rest of the ingredients.
- Cook on high heat: The texture of the brussels sprouts is great because they’re slightly charred and browned. You just need to cook it on a little higher heat and on a cast iron pan. A hot cast iron pan will give a smoky, charred flavor reminiscent of the bbq.
- You can use Spicy or Mild Italian Sausage, turkey sausage or vegan plant based sausage. The delicious sausage and melted cheese all tie this fantastic shaved brussels sprouts into one amazing dish. The recipe uses raw sausage meat, but you can always use a pre-cooked sausage like kielbasa sausage. Just cut it up and use instead.
- It’s definitely a keeper and one of those recipe that can get a brussels spouts hater into a brussels sprouts lover. Give it a try and you just might transform your whole family to loving brussels sprouts and eating all their greens!

This dish is such a hit that we have to double the recipe. If you decide to double the recipe make sure you have a very large skillet! If you want to make it Vegetarian, just leave out the sausage. Use a touch more oil if the brussels sprouts seem too dry when cooking.
You can also use precooked sausage, such as kielbasa sausage as well. Just cut it up and use in the recipe instead of the uncooked sausage meat.
