Who doesn’t love crispy Brussels sprouts leaves? Normally, I’ll grill or roast my sprouts. Most of the leaves that fall off and get super crispy disappear in no time. But why should the leaves be the crispiest yummiest part? They shouldn’t be. That’s why I deep-fried Brussels sprouts and… wow…
Would I make deep-fried Brussels sprouts every day? No. Well, probably not. They’re very good, and even better drizzled in fish sauce. Or, if you prefer, serve the fish sauce on the side. Then you can dip these little delicious bites a little or a lot!
If it’s just the two of us, I usually use my smaller Fry Daddy deep fryer for making this any other fried dish.
