Preparation

Step 1

Remove the hardy stalk near the base of the sprouts and the outermost leaves as needed. Thoroughly wash the sprouts.

Step 2

Using a mandolin or a knife, chop the brussels sprouts horizontally as thin as possible.

Step 3

Set sprouts aside in a medium bowl. Massage them to separate and fluff after they're chopped. Yes – I just told you to massage brussels sprouts.

Step 4

Add green onions and toss to combine.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 6

Add dry ingredients and the egg to the bowl with brussels sprouts mixture. Mix thoroughly. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Step 7

In a large skillet, add oil and bring to medium-high heat. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more if the skillet begins to dry out. These don't need to be "deep-fried" – they just need enough oil to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Measure out the brussels sprouts mixture into 2 tablespoon portions and carefully add them to the skillet. Use a spatula to flatten the fritters. Cook 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 9

Set the fritters aside on a plate lined with paper towel. Allow to cool slightly – then enjoy!
