I loved the garlic in this, but didn't really enjoy the texture of the shredded brussel sprouts. Next time, I think I'd chop them up coarsely, or just quarter them. Otherwise, I loved the recipe.

Very nice way to make brussels sprouts! Very very garlicky, so Dh was super pleased, I would have cut it down just a bit, but even my DS5yo ate his portion, so that says a lot! used 1/2 Tbsp seasoned rice vinegar, and only a couple tbsp of water, and it was just perfect! I also used Pam instead of the oil and didn't miss it one bit - so my only calories were the couple from the brown sugar. Served with Baked Noodles and Maple Glazed Salmon and it was the perfect meal!
