Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any damaged outer leaves.
Using a mandoline slicer, food processor with a slicing attachment, or a sharp knife, thinly slice the Brussels sprouts into shreds.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the shaved Brussels sprouts to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the oil and garlic.
Cook the Brussels sprouts for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Avoid overcooking to maintain their vibrant green color.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the Brussels sprouts. Toss to combine.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light main course.
