The highlight of this appetizer is the deep-fried Brussels sprouts. You can fry them ahead of time if you're expecting guests, and assemble the crostini just before serving. Serve the fried sprouts on crispy baguette toast, spread with ricotta, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Be sure to season the crostini generously with salt for a richer flavor, and a splash of red wine vinegar will add even more depth.
