Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 100 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 180 milliliters Sparkling water
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Cut them in half if large, keeping smaller ones whole.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Gradually add the sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should have the consistency of pancake batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep saucepan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), it's ready for frying.
Dip the Brussels sprouts into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil.
Fry the Brussels sprouts in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each batch for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried Brussels sprouts to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy Brussels sprouts hot, optionally seasoned with extra salt to taste, and enjoy!
