Equipment
- Spider
Ingredients
- 1 lb brussels sprouts, halved
- oil for frying
- salt to taste
- shaved parmesan cheese optional*
Balsamic Glaze
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 small clove minced garlic optional*
Instructions
- Whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey (and minced garlic if using) in a large bowl and set aside.
- Heat oil in a deep pot so it's at least 3 inches deep. When oil reached 350 ℉, carefully add 6-8 brussels. It will bubbly for a bit so stand back or use a screen to catch any splattered oil.
- After 2-4 minutes or until the brussels sprouts are golden brown, remove them using a spider or slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
- Repeat frying in batches until all are fried.
- Toss brussels in the balsamic honey glaze and sprinkle sea salt over top. Shaved Parmesan cheese is an optional addition at the end.
Notes
Notes:
- If you have a bottle of balsamic glaze at home, you can use this instead of the honey + balsamic mixture.
- Adding slivered almonds or pine nuts give the dish an added crunch.
- Feel free to add more or less honey depending how sweet you want your glaze.
- Season with flaked sea salt to taste at the end. The glaze will help the salt to stick.
