Instructions

Rinse sprouts, drain, and discard discolored leaves. Using a small, sharp knife, trim stem end of each sprout to release a layer of leaves, then pull the leaves from the sprout (save). Continue to trim and discard stem, pulling off (and saving) leaves until only about 1/2 inch remains of center of sprout; cut this portion in half lengthwise. Repeat to separate leaves on remaining sprouts.
