Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes until shimmering.
  2. Prepare the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine Panko, Parmesan cheese, and Cajun seasoning until evenly distributed.
  3. Dredge the Sprouts: Dredge the trimmed Brussels sprouts in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
  4. Coat with Panko Mixture: Coat each Brussels sprout in the Panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
  5. Fry the Sprouts: Add coated Brussels sprouts to the hot oil in batches and fry for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: Remove sprouts from oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch or spicy aioli.
