A few years ago my thoughts on brussels sprouts changed entirely.
I had only ever had this green veggie roasted whole. Quite honestly the texture was what got me. I just couldn’t get past the feeling of it to enjoy the taste. I am not sure if it had to do with the way the layers all cooked separately or maybe I just wasn’t cooking them right. Either way, brussels sprouts were not my favorite…until I had them shredded. A whole new side of this nutrient filled black sheep opened up.
Shredded brussels sprouts scream fall to me. They are plentiful at the local markets right alongside of the acorn squash, pumpkins, apples, and other delicious fall fruits and vegetables. It seems natural that they would all go together nicely. And they do.
My foodie friend Colleen, from Souffle Bombay gathered a group of us together for a fun post about the flavors of Fall PLUS hold on to your hats!! We are giving away a GORGEOUS Kitchen Aid 5QT Professional Stand Mixer! Who’s feelin’ lucky?
First up though, I bring you Shredded Brussels Sprouts with Roasted Vegetables and Bacon.
Ingredients:
butter (to use on the pan)
1 large apple, peeled and cubed
1/2 acorn squash, peeled and cubed
1/2 large sweet onion chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 cups brussels sprouts sliced
3 slices bacon
Method:
1. Grease an 8×8 baking dish with butter.
2. Roast cubed apples and acorn squash together at 350 degrees for ~20 minutes until just fork tender.
3. Cook bacon in a frying pan.
4. Remove bacon when done but leave grease in pan. Add onions and garlic and saute for ~2 minutes.
5. Add brussels sprouts and cook for ~7 minutes stirring constantly until just tender.
6. Add apples and squash and cook until incorporated and warm.
7. Serve with your favorite main dish. I’m a fan of pork chops!
ENJOY!

I love apple in the fall, of course. But also butternut squash soup!

Pumpkin bread or soup.
And this recipe (minus the bacon for me!) looks good. I’ve never made Brussels sprouts from “scratch” only from a steamer bag!

This looks fantastic! I’ve always loved Brussels sprouts, even as a child. Squash, on the other hand, is not my favorite. I will definitely try this one – bacon makes everything work!
I love making this cranberry glazed pork chops recipe.
I Love this brussels sprout/apple recipe! it is a hit at my house!
Love this recipe and favorite fall foods include roasted veggies, pumpkin soup and pies (yes, please – always)!
My KitchenAid mixer is my favorite appliance and it is very old and slightly wonky and may not make it through this baking season!

It’s my favorite way to prepare them!
Here is a secret: I have never had a brussel sprout, yet I “don’t like them”. LOL BUT, this looks like an amazing recipe!

SO funny Reesa! You’ll have to try them now! My secret is that I don’t like them whole. This shredded recipe is a good place to start.
MY view of brussel sprouts has totally changed, too! Next time, I’m putting some bacon in there because this sounds delicious!

I think your recipe sounds delicious! My favorite fall recipe would be pumpkin pie.
Thanks so much Cynthia! Pumpkin pie…sounds delicious!
I adore parsnips — your family is missing out! But these look phenomenal! Love the sounds of that glaze. And you can never go wrong with bacon.

Your recipe looks amazing! I’ve never really gotten into brussel sprouts since they’re often served overcooked. I definitely want to try your recipe.

So pretty and a nice twist on serving Brussels!
