This Roasted Shaved Brussels Sprouts recipe couldn't be easier, and the result is crispy, savory goodness that will make you want to devour an entire bowl. This recipe is a winner if you're looking for a side dish that is sinfully delicious. It is tasty enough for a holiday entertaining but easy enough for a weeknight.

Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables to roast because they get nice and crispy without becoming too browned or burnt.
In this recipe, I'm roasting shaved Brussels sprouts with a bit of avocado oil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Finish with parmesan cheese and a splash of balsamic vinegar, and get prepared for a party in your mouth.
I love to add these crispy sprouts to a fall salad with roasted butternut squash, cranberries, and quinoa. They are also fabulous as a simple side to air fryer chicken thighs or turkey breast, Blackstone steak, hanger steak, or grilled salmon.

Let's Talk Ingredients
I’ve made this with Brussels sprouts of all sizes, and they all work. Smaller ones shave more easily in the food processor, and pre-shaved sprouts from the grocery store are a great time-saver.
Sugar, honey, and maple syrup all worked well in this recipe when I tested them, so feel free to use whichever one you prefer.
I like to finish them with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or glaze for a touch of tangy sweetness. Lemon juice works too if you prefer something brighter.
Tips & Tricks
- Use a food processor, sharp knife, or mandoline to thinly slice the Brussels sprouts. If cut too thick, they will take longer to cook and won't get as crispy.
- Shaved Brussels sprouts will last in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Roast the Brussels sprouts on a sheet pan lined with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. (I prefer parchment.)
- Keep an eye on the Brussels sprouts while roasting, especially towards the end of the cooking time. Every oven is different, and you don't want your Brussels sprouts to overcook or burn.
- To make this recipe vegan, skip the parmesan cheese or use your favorite plant-based cheese. (It is already vegetarian and gluten-free.)
- Make sure you trim your Brussels sprouts before shaving them. You want to cut the ends and remove the outer leaves.

Brussels sprouts prepared by this recipe are delicious. Make a meditation out of the slicing process (I don't have a food processor) and you have a wonderful snack or side dish in no time.

I am so glad you enjoy it! I love the idea of "making a mediation" out of slicing. I do that quite a bit myself. 🙂

Delicious
I will definitely make this again. Confession, I did not read the recipe through so added all the ingredients then roasted. The plus is I also added the cheese and balsamic at the end so I got added flavor.
Did not have avocado oil, so I used olive oil. That was the only change . Looking forward to the leftovers

I’m not fan of Brussels sprouts but this was rather tasty. I didn’t have any balsamic vinegar so I’ll get some next time and see if it made the sprouts pop. All in all it was pretty good, will make again. TFS
