How to Make LongHorn Steakhouse Crispy Brussels Sprouts

Step One: Trim and clean Brussels sprouts, removing any tough outer leaves. Cut the sprouts in half to ensure they cook evenly.
Step Two: Toss the Brussels sprouts with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. Make sure they are well-coated.

Step Three: Preheat your air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F (200°C). Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Set cook time 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step Four: While the Brussels sprouts cook, combine melted butter, chili powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, red pepper flakes, maple syrup, and honey in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
Step Five: Once the Brussels sprouts are crispy and done, toss them in the prepared sauce. Make sure they are evenly coated with the sweet and spicy sauce.

Longhorn Brussel Sprouts Recipe Variations
- Sweeter Variation: To make the Brussels sprouts sweeter, increase the maple syrup and honey in the sauce.
- Spicier Variation: For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or swap in Calabrian chili powder for an extra burst of heat.
- Savory Variation: For a more savory taste, you can omit the honey and maple syrup, and add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the sauce.
Longhorn Steakhouse Crispy Brussels Sprouts Recipe Tips
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Ensure your air fryer is preheated to 400°F (200°C) before adding the Brussels sprouts for an evenly crispy texture. This helps to achieve that golden-brown crispiness without overcooking the sprouts.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: For the crispiest Brussels sprouts, make sure they’re in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding can cause them to steam rather than crisp up.
- Shake the Basket Halfway Through: Give the basket a shake halfway through the cooking process to ensure all the Brussels sprouts cook evenly and crisp up on all sides.
- Adjust Seasoning to Taste: Feel free to adjust the seasonings based on your preference. Add more maple syrup for sweetness, or increase the red pepper flakes for extra spice.
- Serve Immediately: Brussels sprouts are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer, as they tend to lose their crispiness over time. Serve them right away for the perfect crunch!
Storing
- Storing: Store leftover crispy Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To keep them fresh, avoid stacking them on top of one another to maintain their crispiness.
- Freezing: To freeze, spread the cooked Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: Reheat Brussels sprouts in the air fryer at 350°F for 5-6 minutes to restore their crispiness. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a hot oven on a baking sheet for the best results.

Longhorn Steakhouse Crispy Brussels Sprouts Recipe Faqs
What makes Longhorn Steakhouse Brussels sprouts so crispy? The key to their crispiness is roasting them at a high temperature, either in an oven or air fryer, which helps caramelize the outer leaves. Tossing them in oil before cooking also enhances the crunch.
Can I make these Brussels sprouts without an air fryer? Yes! You can roast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
What kind of seasoning does Longhorn Steakhouse use? They use a blend of butter, smoked paprika, chili powder, sea salt, and red pepper flakes for a sweet and smoky kick.
Can I make these Brussels sprouts less spicy? Absolutely! Simply reduce or omit the chili powder and red pepper flakes for a milder flavor.
Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe? Fresh Brussels sprouts work best for crispiness, but if using frozen, thaw and pat them dry before roasting to reduce excess moisture.

Really tasty!!! I’ve been looking for a recipe close to the one my favorite restaurant has and this was it!!! I increased my temp to 370 and 8 min. Got a decent char but will increase cook time another couple minutes next time. Thanks for the recipe, will definitely subscribe for more 🙂

Did this for the first time tonight. Not too bad, but wish they were a little more crispy. Maybe higher temp and a little longer?
