Quick and Delicious Shaved Brussels Sprouts

Quick and Delicious Shaved Brussels Sprouts

Brunch, Dinners, Family Recipes, Gluten free, Kid meals, Lunch, Vegan, Vegetarian

These Brussels sprouts couldn’t be easier. I have seen pre-shaved Brussels in stores which would make this about a 6 minute dish. One cup of Brussels sprouts contains 3g of fiber, 3g of protein, calcium, iron and potassium. This paired beautifully with a simple...
