Introduction to Crispy Brussels Sprouts
I’m always looking for a good snack to enjoy during a movie or a show marathon or while I work, but I don’t want it to mess up my day of eating. These Crispy Brussels Sprouts are just what I was looking for and pair deliciously with our easy to make curry and whipped ricotta dipping sauces!
How To Make Crispy Brussels Sprouts
The thing about brussels sprouts is that they are prone to burning if overlooked even by a couple minutes. For that reason alone, making crispy brussels sprouts requires a little more attention than roasting other vegetables. As long as you coat them thoroughly in fat that can be heated to high temps without burning, such as avocado oil, animal fat or coconut oil, flip them half way through and keep an eye on them as they start to brown you’ll always have a delicious, crispy dipping vessel! Allowing them to cool slightly before serving will also make them a little more crispier.
Our Favorite Low Carb Side Dishes
I’ve recently been eating a lot brussels sprouts lately. They are filling, crunchy and go great in stir frys, casseroles or just a side to a juicy ribeye! Some other great low carb side dishes are our mashed cauliflower and gravy, low carb onion rings and zucchini fries.

To spice up this recipe we made two dipping sauces to pair! Our whipped ricotta dip is thick and rich in flavor, while our curry dipping sauce will make your taste buds dance the dance of flavorful gods!
