Ingredients
Brussels Sprouts:
-
1 lb Brussels sprouts
-
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
-
1 ¼ tsp sea salt
Sweet & Spicy Sauce:
-
2 ½ Tbsp melted butter
-
½ tsp chili powder
-
½ tsp smoked paprika
-
½ tsp sea salt
-
1 ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
-
1 ½ tsp maple syrup
-
1 tsp honey
Oven Method
-
Preheat Oven:
Set oven to 400°F (200°C). High heat is key to crispiness. -
Prep the Baking Sheet:
Line a large baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter. (Avoid parchment paper—it traps steam.) -
Parboil Brussels Sprouts:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Trim stems and remove any damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts.
Boil for 5–7 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and either let them cool for 5 minutes or shock in ice water for 30 seconds. Pat completely dry. -
Season and Roast:
Cut sprouts in half and toss with olive oil and salt. Spread them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy on the edges. -
Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, chili powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, red pepper flakes, maple syrup, and honey. -
Finish and Serve:
Toss the hot roasted Brussels sprouts with the sauce until evenly coated. Serve immediately.
Air Fryer Method
-
Prep Brussels Sprouts:
Trim stems, remove damaged leaves, and cut sprouts in half. -
Season:
Toss with olive oil and salt until coated. -
Cook:
Preheat air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Arrange sprouts in a single layer.
Air fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until golden and crispy. -
Sauce & Serve:
Toss with the sweet and spicy sauce or serve it on the side for dipping.
💡 Tip: For extra crunch, roast or air-fry for an additional 2–3 minutes after tossing with the sauce.

Is this Brussel Sprout Recipe Truly Similar to the one at Longhorn Steakhouse?
I’d say that this version is approximately 99% akin to the original Longhorn Steakhouse dish. When I make copycat recipes, I strive for 100% accuracy, which can only be done through repeated trials/errors and adjustments – and I believe the brussel sprout rub I’ve developed for this recipe is spot-on. Of course, you can always experiment with the spices if you’d like.
But I can say with certainty that this is a worthy rival. The sprouts turn out crispy and irresistibly tasty!
