Directions
Begin by preheating canola oil in a heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (176°C). Prepare the Brussels sprouts (½ lb) for frying by halving or quartering them depending on size.
Working a small handful at a time, gently lower the Brussels sprouts (½ lb) into the oil using a spider. Be careful when adding the Brussels sprouts (½ lb) to the oil as they will “spit” hot oil when first added. Cook the sprouts until golden brown and crispy.
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 ( to taste) and pepper ( to taste) to taste.
Serve immediately.
