Keto Shredded Brussels Sprouts
Description
The recipe uses shredded Brussels sprouts cooked in a mix of butter and bacon grease, which imparts both richness and smokiness. Garlic salt and red pepper flakes season the sprouts evenly, and the sauté time of 8 to 10 minutes allows them to brown lightly, developing a subtle caramelized flavor while maintaining texture.
Finishing with grated Parmesan cheese adds a salty, umami layer that complements the natural bitterness of the Brussels sprouts. Drizzling balsamic reduction introduces gentle acidity contrasting with the rich elements, but this is optional.
This dish works well as a side for a keto meal plan or a flavorful vegetable accompaniment to meats. The balance between fat, seasoning, and the vegetable’s texture makes it satisfying without complexity.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons bacon grease
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Balsamic reduction optional, drizzle
Instructions
- Clean your Brussels sprouts and cut the ends off. Add them into the feed chute of your food processor to shred them. Alternatively, you can either shred them using a sharp knife or buy them already shredded.
- Heat a large skillet to medium heat and add in the butter and bacon grease. Once melted, add in the Brussels sprouts, garlic salt and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat them.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes until they just started to get slightly browned. Remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese.
- Add a (optional) drizzle of balsamic reduction and serve. If you don't have balsamic reduction, you can use balsamic vinegar instead.
