Which method is used to prepare Crispy Brussels Sprouts?

• A. Fried crispy (not breaded), sprinkled with LH signature seasoning and tossed in a smokey honey butter
• B. Baked with parmesan
• C. Grilled with lemon
• D. Steamed with salt

Answer: (A)

Crispiness comes from getting high heat on the surface with enough oil to rapidly evaporate moisture and create browning. Frying the Brussels sprouts without breading does exactly that: the hot oil coats the outside, quickly browns, and forms a crackly, crisp edge while the inside stays tender. The seasoning adds bold flavor to complement the crunch, and finishing with a smoky honey butter gives a glossy, savory glaze that enhances the overall savoriness without softening the crispy exterior. Other methods can produce different textures—baking with parmesan, for example, can yield some edge crisp but cheese can alter texture and often isn’t as crackly; grilling adds char but not the same level of surface crunch; steaming leaves the sprouts soft and lacks browning.
