Prepare the Brussels Sprouts
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water. Trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or wilted leaves. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.

Season the Sprouts
In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry the Brussels Sprouts
Carefully add the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer. Fry for about 5-7 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the other side is browned.

Drain and Keep Warm
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried Brussels sprouts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Keep warm while preparing the aioli.
