FAQs

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

While fresh Brussels sprouts are best for shredding and sautéing, you can use frozen ones if thawed and drained well. Just note that the texture may be softer.

How do I know when the Brussels sprouts are done cooking?

The shredded Brussels sprouts are done when they are tender but still have a slight bite and are lightly browned in places. Overcooking can make them mushy and less appealing.
