How to Make LongHorn Steakhouse Crispy Brussels Sprouts Recipe (step by step)
With little preparation time, this copycat longhorn steakhouse Brussels sprouts recipe is easier to make than you think.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking tray with aluminum foil. Spray foil, or lightly coat with butter.
Boil a large pot of water and add salt. Prepare Brussels sprouts by peeling off the exterior shell, if damaged, and cutting off the stems.
Blanch the cleaned Brussels sprouts for 5-7 minutes, or until fork tender, in the boiling water. Remove the sprouts and place them into a large bowl. Cool for 5 minutes, or place them in an ice bath for 30 seconds. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Cut the Brussels sprouts in half (this will help them get more sauce than leaving them whole).
Toss them with olive oil and salt. Roast the Brussels sprouts in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy edges. Roast and stir halfway through cooking time.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, chili powder, paprika, salt, red pepper flakes, honey, and syrup and whisk until combined.
Remove the tray from the oven and toss the crispy Brussels sprouts with the prepared sauce and a sprinkle of flake salt, if desired. Place on a large flat serving platter and serve hot!
Variations to Crispy Brussels Sprouts
The longhorn Brussels sprouts recipe is customizable and can be adjusted to suit your taste buds for a sweeter, spicier, or more savory flavor by adjusting the seasoning flavors. Here are some ideas to try the next time you make them.

Storage
Fridge – Transfer the leftover Brussel sprouts to an airtight container or a jar with a lid and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezer – You can freeze them by placing the leftover sprouts in a freezer container for up to 3 months. Make more fresh spicy sauce and add after reheating.
Reheating
Reheating – The best way to reheat your leftover crispy Brussels sprouts is to bake them in the oven. Simple preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 to 5 mins, or quickly toss them in a hot skillet or pan. You can also reheat them for 1-2 in the microwave. I recommend making more sauce and adding it to the Brussels sprouts.
FAQ
The key to getting perfectly crispy Brussels sprouts is baking them at a high temperature in the oven. I recommend using a greased baking sheet, or aluminum foil on a baking tray and not using parchment paper. The parchment paper will result in more steamed instead of crispy Brussels sprouts.

Made these again last Sunday. Such a hit and sooo tasty! Thanks again for a delicious recipe to make me look good. 🙂
You are welcome!
Ten stars.
taste just like longhorns. delicious!
thank you Elena!
You are welcome!
You suggest that the Brussel sprouts could be substituted with other carfucious vegetables. I can’t seem to find a definition for carfucious.
Looking forward to making this- we eat a lot of vegetables and getting bored with our own tastes and techniques! Thank you!!
Hi! You can use cauliflower or broccoli for this and it is delicious!
Cruciferous is the word. I am going to try it with Brussels sprouts and tricolored carrots.
Do yourself a favor and make this.
Ha! I 100% agree! Yes.
This recipe will not disappoint you 😋.
Yes! It’s a winner! Thank you.
Don’t add the pepper flakes. Too spicy. I added more maple syrup and honey.
I would disagree, but please feel free to adjust to your taste and spice level. Enjoy!
