How do you make Apple Brussels Sprouts Hash?
- Start by shredding the brussel sprouts. There are 2 ways to do this, one way is to chop them thinly with a sharp knife and the other way is to use the food processor to shred the brussel sprouts quickly.
- Once the brussel sprouts are shredded, you can get them cooking in a hot skillet (affiliate) while you peel and chop the green apple.
- After the brussels have cooked for a few minutes, add the chopped green apple, salt, garlic powder and balsamic vinegar to the brussel sprouts. Stir well and allow the apples to cook down slightly.
- Add the chopped nuts and stir well. Serve hot with your favorite protein!
How do you shred brussel sprouts with a food processor?
The 2 ways to shred brussel sprouts with a food processor (affiliate)
- Use the shredding attachment on the food processor and add the brussel sprouts 1-2 at a time to shred down. An entire pound will take about 1 minute using this method.
- Use the regular blade of the food processor and add 10-12 brussel sprouts at a time and pulse until the brussel sprouts appear shredded. Continue in batches until all the brussels have been shredded.
What nuts can you use in this recipe?
- Chopped hazelnuts
- Chopped walnuts
- Pumpkin seeds
- Sunflower seeds
- Sesame seeds
Make ahead tips:
- Brussel sprouts can be shredded up to 3 days ahead of time. Just store them in a airtight container to keep them fresh. You can also buy brussel sprouts already shredded to help save time.
- Apples tend to brown if you peel/cut them early. To make sure the apples don’t get brown and mushy, add a bit of lemon juice to the apples if you decide to prep them the day before.
- This entire recipe can be cooked ahead of time (during meal prep) and reheated easily in the microwave or on the stove top.
What are some ways you can eat this simple brussels sprouts hash:
- Serve it with fresh fried eggs over top!
- Stir in shredded chicken for a simple salad
- Add dried cranberries, tuna and creamy balsamic dressing

This is definitely going on my menu for next week! It’s been harder to eat well this pregnancy, but I seem to be coming out of the fog a bit and want to do better about staying healthy and keeping the weight gain under control.

Oh my this looks so good!! I will, hopefully, get to try this. The kids aren’t big fans of brussels but my husband and I are. I’m sure if we top it with an egg they’ll give it another try. 🙂
Thanks for sharing with us at MMBH!

I am not a big Brussels sprout fan, so maybe I need to try this or your roasted version. Thanks for linking up on the Creative K Kids Tasty Tuesdays Linky Party.

BRUSSELS ARE MY FAVORITE!! I actually haven’t cooked them with apples before though… I’m definitely going to have to try that.

This recipe just might make those brussel sprout haters at my holiday dinner table gobble up this year! Pinned to share and to make this holiday season. Thank you for the recipe!
Jess @hellotofit
Soggy veggies are the WORST. Ray made fun of me last week because my roasting game has been off…the broccoli was a little raw last time, ha!
These look AMAZING. I’ve never had Brussels sprouts with breakfast, but I’d DEFINITELY enjoy these.

Brilliant flavor combination! I have found one single brussels sprout recipe that my husband will eat. Now, I think I have 2 🙂

I am obsessed with brussel sprouts! Especially with apples and a touch of vinegar. I love how the vinegar turns all syrupy sweet when you cook it. Mmmm I need to go make this!
Tiffany @ The Chi-Athlete

But those eggs on top….icing on the cake!

I LOVE brussel sprouts and I often have them for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. Last week we had sweet apple chicken sausage and I hashed it with brussels and eggs. I’m thinking it tasted similar to this. Can’t wait to try with just apple though!
Susie @ SuzLyfe
This is perfection! I would totally make this for tgiving, but my mom has a serious anti-Brussels complex. It ruins my plans every time. Guess I’ll just be making it for me, then 😀
