Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups of shredded Brussels sprouts (about 1lb before trimming the ends)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
- ¼ teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
- 1 oz shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon sunflower seed kernels
Instructions
- Soak the shredded sprouts in a large bowl of cold water for about 3 minutes.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Drain the Brussels sprouts and add them to the pan.
- Cover and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes without stirring.
- Remove the lid, stir, and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes or until softened. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your sprouts.

Notes
Soaking the Brussels sprouts before cooking prevents them from burning before softening. It also helps steam the Brussels sprouts in the pan.
