Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise.

Breading

  1. 2

    Mix the Breading Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 3

    Coat the Brussels Sprouts

    Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the bowl with the breading mixture. Toss to coat evenly, ensuring each sprout is well covered.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Fry the Brussels Sprouts

    Carefully add the coated Brussels sprouts to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Add Garnish

    Drizzle the fried Brussels sprouts with lemon juice and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving.
