Recipe FAQs
How Do You Get the Bitterness Out of Brussel Sprouts?
Properly cooked brussels sprouts will not have any bitterness. Season the sprouts well. Make sure not to overcook the sprouts, or else they can turn out to be too mushy.
Should you blanch Brussel sprouts before frying?
There is no need to blanch the Brussel sprouts before frying them in this recipe. The only prep work needed is to thinly slice the Brussel sprouts before frying them.
Why are my Brussels sprouts tough?
Mushy Brussel sprouts or tough ones are the worst! If there is not enough oil in the pan, the Brussel sprouts will not fry properly, leaving them tough instead of crispy and soft.
