  We study neutron star configurations in a simple shift-symmetric subfamily of
degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories, whose deviations from
General Relativity (GR) are characterized by a single parameter. We compute the
radial profiles of neutron stars in these theories of modified gravity, using
several realistic equations of state for the neutron star matter. We find
neutron stars with masses and radii significantly larger than their GR
counterparts. We then consider slowly-rotating solutions and determine the
relation between the dimensionless moment of inertia and the compactness,
relation that has the property to be almost insensitive to the equation of
state.
