Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss the halved Brussels sprouts in the flour mixture until lightly coated. Shake off excess flour.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the coated Brussels sprouts to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are deep golden brown and crispy.
Remove the sprouts with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While the sprouts drain, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Place the crispy Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Pour the warm glaze over the sprouts and toss gently until they are evenly coated.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra crispiness, you can briefly toss the sprouts in ice water after trimming before coating them in flour.
Adjust the honey amount in the glaze if you prefer a sweeter or tangier finish.
If you prefer not to deep fry, you can roast the sprouts at 400°F (200°C) until tender, then toss them in the glaze. Frying yields the closest texture to the restaurant version.
