Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts
Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water, then trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise.
Batter Preparation
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in water until the batter is smooth and has a thick but pourable consistency.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Brussels Sprouts
Dip each half of the Brussels sprout into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried Brussels sprouts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with additional salt if desired.
Garnishing
- 6
Serve with Garnish
Transfer the crispy fried Brussels sprouts to a serving platter. Serve with lemon wedges on the side and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
