Ingredients

  • ½ lb (225g) Brussels sprouts
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Begin by preheating canola oil in a heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (176°C). Prepare the Brussels sprouts for frying by halving or quartering them depending on size.
  2. Working a small handful at a time, gently lower the Brussels sprouts into the oil using a spider. Be careful when adding the Brussels sprouts to the oil as they will “spit” hot oil when first added. Cook the sprouts until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Remove the cooked sprouts from the hot oil using a spider. Add the cooked sprouts to a mixing bowl and begin to toss while seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. 
  4. Serve immediately.
