Crispy Brussel Sprouts

crispy brussel sprouts

What you'll need

• Brussel sprouts

• Fresh shredded parmesan cheese (1/4 cup + lots more for topping)

• Freshly squeezed lemon juice

• Salt & Pepper to Taste

• Avocado oil

• chives (for garnish)

• Splatter screen ( cause there will be oil splatter when placing Brussel sprouts in the oil)

  * if you don't have a splatter screen be prepared for oil to splatter everywhere (be very careful)

Directions:

1. Clean and rinse your Brussel sprouts and make sure to completely dry ( this will reduce the oil splatter)

2. Cut the Brussel sprouts in half and trim any browned stem ends and peel off any spotty/bruised  leaves.

3. Add avocado oil to a deep saucepan and heat to 375 over medium heat.

4. Once heated add in your Brussel sprouts. The oil will splatter right away so make sure to cover with a splatter screen for about 2-3 mins.

5. Remove the splatter screen and stir the Brussel sprouts and cook for another 2 mins or until deeply browned.

6. Scoop out the Brussel sprouts making sure shake any excess oil back into the pot. Transfer the sprouts to a bowl and add 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. And mix well. Then squeeze over a little lemon juice and mix again.

7. Add the Brussel sprouts to a plate, and add squeeze over a little more lemon juice and top with lots of parmesan cheese and garnish with chives. ENJOY!
