Trim the ends of the brussel sprouts and remove any damaged outer leaves.

Cut the brussel sprouts in half lengthwise.

Heat olive oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

Carefully add the brussel sprouts to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the fried brussel sprouts and drain on paper towels.

In a small saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar over medium heat.

Simmer the mixture until it reduces and thickens slightly, about 5-10 minutes.

Season the fried brussel sprouts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Drizzle the pomegranate glaze over the brussel sprouts before serving.

Garnish with pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley.
