Cut brussel sprouts into strips and remove the stems and top layer. And set it aside.
Chop up the onion and set aside.
Rinse the cannellini beans and set aside. Open the bag of shredded carrots and use half of it. If you don't have a bag of shredded carrots, shred at least 4 of them with a box grater or food processor and set them aside.
In a Dutch oven (Affiliate Link), heat the olive oil (Affiliate Link), garlic, and Aleppo Pepper for a few minutes. Don't let it smoke or burn the garlic.
Add the sliced brussel sprouts and onion add to the Dutch oven (Affiliate Link) pan. Add the carrot shreds to the Dutch oven (Affiliate Link) pan. Cook on medium to low heat and cover for 15 minutes. It will reduce down.

And here is the finished dish. Doesn't it look yummy? The beans really fill you up and make for a great dinner. It is very light too.
Variations
If you want to do some variations with this recipe, here are some suggestions.
- Spicy - add chili pepper flakes to the dish instead of Aleppo peppers.
- Hardy - you can add more hardy beans like red kidney or black beans.
- Smoky - Add a splash or two of smoky flavors using Liquid Smoke.
Equipment
The recommended pan to use is a Dutch oven (Affiliate Link) because it is deep enough to hold the pound of brussel sprouts. You can use a larger saucepan or skillet that has a lid. Below is one I found on Amazon (affiliate).
