A delicious and easy-to-make side dish featuring shredded Brussels sprouts sautéed with bacon grease, butter, garlic salt, and red pepper flakes, then topped with grated Parmesan cheese and an optional balsamic reduction drizzle for added flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts (shredded)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons bacon grease
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Optional

  • Drizzle of balsamic reduction (or balsamic vinegar)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Clean your Brussels sprouts by trimming off the ends. Use a food processor with a shredding blade to shred them finely, or alternatively, finely chop them with a sharp knife or purchase pre-shredded Brussels sprouts.
  2. Heat fats in skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add butter along with bacon grease. Allow both to melt completely to create a flavorful cooking base.
  3. Cook the Brussels sprouts: Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the skillet, then sprinkle with garlic salt and red pepper flakes. Toss everything well to ensure even coating and flavor distribution.
  4. Sauté until slightly browned: Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender and begin to develop a light golden brown color.
  5. Add Parmesan cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is well combined and slightly melted into the sprouts.
  6. Optional finishing touch: Drizzle balsamic reduction or balsamic vinegar over the cooked Brussels sprouts for a sweet and tangy finish. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Use freshly shredded Brussels sprouts for the best texture and flavor.
  • Bacon grease can be substituted with olive oil or additional butter for a vegetarian version.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
  • Balsamic reduction adds a richer sweetness, but regular balsamic vinegar is a perfectly good alternative.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture; leftover Brussels sprouts can be reheated gently.
