Start by preparing the Brussels sprouts. Remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves, trim the stems, and cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, cut side down, in a single layer. Cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes until the cut sides are deeply browned and crispy.
Season the Brussels sprouts with salt and black pepper.
Stir the sprouts and continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and evenly browned.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and stevia. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, or until it has reduced by half and has a syrupy consistency.
Once the sprouts are done, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the crispy Brussels sprouts just before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your sugar-free crispy fried Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze.
