Brussels Sprout Fritters

Ingredients

• 1 lb. brussels sprouts
• 3 green onions, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup gluten free all-purpose flour*
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 egg
• 2-4 Tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

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

3. 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.

4. 4

   Add green onions and toss to combine.

5. 5

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

6. 6

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

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 9

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

    I suggest serving these alongside eggs, avocado toast, and maybe mimosas. ;)
