Notes

  • My Top Tip: Use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture. It's best to rinse Brussel sprouts after they have been cut since dirt and debris can hide between the layers. Once clean, use a salad spinner to pull out an excess moisture.
  • Storage: Store any cut Brussel sprouts in an airtight container or plastic bag in the crisper in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can add a paper towel to absorb the moisture and help keep them fresh.
