Ways to Shave Brussels Sprouts

There are three ways to shave Brussels sprouts:

• The easiest is adding Brussels sprouts to afood processorwith a slicing attachment.
• You can also use a mandolin to slice although I find that the most cumbersome and dangerous.
• If you have neither you can just go old school and use a knife to thinly slice the Brussels sprouts. Yes it takes the most work, but you’ll be done before you know it.
