Parmesan Brussels Sprouts
Parmesan Brussels Sprouts are breaded and fried until crispy with a crunchy panko and Parmesan coating seasoned with Cajun spices. The sprouts are dredged in flour and dipped in beaten eggs before coating them in the flavorful panko mix. This combination results in a golden-brown exterior with tender cooked sprout interiors, offering a rich and slightly spicy flavor contrast. They make a tasty side dish or snack that showcases a different take on Brussels sprouts.
