Instructions

Clean your Brussels sprouts thoroughly under running water. Remove any damaged outer leaves. Use a food processor, sharp knife, or a pre-shredded option to shred the Brussels sprouts into thin strips. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of turkey bacon grease over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and combine thoroughly with the bacon grease, creating a flavorful cooking fat.
Add the shredded Brussels sprouts to the skillet, followed by ½ teaspoon of garlic salt and ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Stir everything together, making sure the Brussels sprouts are well-coated in the buttery mixture.
Cook the mixture for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the Brussels sprouts to become slightly browned and tender but not mushy. Look for a light caramelization on the edges to enhance their sweetness.
Once the Brussels sprouts have reached the desired texture, stir in 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese. Allow the heat to help melt the cheese while mixing it evenly throughout the sprouts.
For the finishing touch, add a drizzle of balsamic reduction (or balsamic vinegar) over the dish just before serving. This will add a beautiful contrast of flavors and a fantastic visual appeal.
Serve your Keto Shredded Brussels Sprouts hot and enjoy!
