I will never forget the first time I tried maple apple crispy brussel sprouts. We were at one of our favorite restaurants in North Carolina and our server said they were the best thing on the menu. Now, for me I felt confused on the one hand, but so intrigued on the other…
Is it truly possible for brussel sprouts to be the most sought after item on a restaurant’s menu? I often ate brussel sprouts as a child and I can assure you they were nowhere at the top of my list!
But after giving them a try (and yes, they were THAT good!), I realized the problem. I had been making and eating Brussels the wrong way. The absolute key to crispy brussel sprouts is how finely you dice them.
You want them shredded. This is super important and what makes them so crispy when they bake!
