Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 3–4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.

Halve each Brussels sprout through the core, then slice each half as thinly as possible with a sharp knife or mandoline — you want thin, feathery shreds. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and separate any clumped layers with your fingers.
