Shredded Brussels Sprouts Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts: Brussels sprouts are full of nutritional benefits, including lots of nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber, among other things. 

Shallots: Shallots are used in recipes to give a little bit of flavor, but a softer taste than an onion. If you don’t have shallots, you can also use sweet onions, red onions, or green onions.

Bacon: Bacon needs to be cooked and crumbled before adding it to this recipe. An easy way to prepare the bacon is to bake it in the oven. Place the slices of bacon on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes at 415°F (or until crispy). You can store the cooked bacon in a shallow, airtight container, in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
