With all of the upcoming holiday festivities, I have a feeling we could all use an extra serving of veggies this week.
These sweet and crunchy Brussels sprouts would make an excellent addition to any meal, especially with this chilly weather!
This warm dish features shredded Brussels sprouts tossed with a splash of fresh orange juice, sweet and tart cranberries, crunchy pecans and a hint of cinnamon for a pleasing holiday flavor. Even picky eaters should love the texture of the shredded veggies paired with the sweet and crunchy additions.
I hope you and your family enjoy it while staying out of the cold!

Sweet & Crunchy Brussels Sprouts
serves 4
Adapted from The Food Network
Ingredients:
1 pound Brussles sprouts, shredded
1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup raw pecans
Directions:
Warm the coconut oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the shredded Brussels sprouts, cinnamon, salt and orange juice and stir until the greens are bright and slightly wilted, about 3 minutes.
*Note: I used my Salad Shooter to make shredding the Brussels sprouts quick and easy. They aren’t quite as “perfect” as if I had cored them and shredded by hand, but it’s a lot easier and the result is just as tasty!
Remove from the heat and add in the cranberries and pecans, tossing to combine, and serve warm.

Reader Feedback: What’s your favorite vegetable dish around the holidays?
Where can I buy fruit juice sweetened cranberries? Thank you!!
I made this recipe tonight however I didn’t have any orange juice so I used lime juice instead and it was a huge hit. Thanks for the ideas.
Just made these for lunch. Super yummy and easy to make! Thanks!
I was actually given three pounds of brussels sprouts from my neighbour for Christmas! I’ve just been roasting them with some coconut oil and balsamic. I think I’ll give this a try! It looks a lot like braised cabbage, which I love. Really like the addition of the dried fruit and nuts for some sweetness and crunch. Great recipe!
How do you suggest shredding the brussel sprouts?
I used my salad shooter, but a box grater or just a good knife would work, too!
Hi, Isabella!
If you have a Trader Joe’s in your area, you may find shredded brussel sprouts in their produce section. I see them there all the time. Hope that helps!!
Perfection–I’m so so soooo making this!
Yum, this looks wonderful, and so healthy too. Great for when I buy brussels sprouts but then can’t decide what to do with them! Maybe that’s just me?
It’s not just you!-me, too! I love brussels, but I quickly run out of new ideas!
Megan, thanks for this recipe: easy, tasty & healthy, like all of your recipes! It’s such a winner, & I know my family will love it, too!
Costco has a Sweet Kale super foods salad blend of Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Kale, & Chicory that sounds perfect for this dressing and is already shredded. It comes with a Poppyseed Dressing Pumpkin Seeds & Cranberries, but I usually make my own dressing. Thanks for the warm salad Idea.
I love brussel sprouts! Thanks for the recipe.
This looks great! I can’t have raw brussels, so I’d have to cook them after shredding most likely. Great idea Megan!
