Begin by thoroughly rinsing the Brussels sprouts under cold water. Trim the stems and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut each Brussels sprout in half.
In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small test piece of Brussels sprout sizzles upon contact.
Carefully add the Brussels sprouts to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding, ensuring they sit in a single layer in the pan. Fry each batch for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried Brussels sprouts to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the fried Brussels sprouts, tossing to ensure they are evenly coated.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the seasoned Brussels sprouts and give them another quick toss.
Serve immediately while hot, enjoying them as a tasty snack or complement to your main dish.
