Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
    • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
    • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • ½ cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 large eggs
    • 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
    • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • A pinch of cayenne (optional)
    • Flaky salt (for finishing)
    • Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
  • For Mustard Aioli:
    • ¼ cup mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Set up three breading bowls:
    • Bowl 1: Mix flour, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne.
    • Bowl 2: Beat eggs with Dijon mustard.
    • Bowl 3: Combine panko, Parmesan, and melted butter.
  • Toss each Brussels sprout in the flour mixture, dip in eggs, and coat with the panko-Parmesan mixture.
