What Makes These Brussels Sprouts So Addictive?

Ingredients for the Longhorn Steakhouse Brussels Sprouts

To make the perfect batch of these crave-worthy sprouts, you only need a few staple ingredients. Each one plays a crucial role in building those layers of flavor and texture.

• Brussels sprouts: The star of the show, halved and trimmed for even roasting and crispy edges.
• Olive oil: Helps the sprouts roast to golden perfection and enhances flavor.
• Salt: Brings out the natural flavor of the sprouts.
• Black pepper: Adds subtle heat and depth.
• Garlic: Roasted garlic lends a mellow, sweet pungency.
• Balsamic vinegar: Gives the glaze its tangy punch.
• Honey: Balances out the vinegar with a touch of sweetness.
• Soy sauce: Adds umami and a deeper savory note.
• Red pepper flakes: Brings the heat that makes each bite pop.

How To Make the Longhorn Steakhouse Brussels Sprouts

Step 1: Prep the Brussels Sprouts

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. Spread them out on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Step 2: Roast Until Crispy

Roast the sprouts in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning. They should be deeply golden with crispy outer leaves.

Step 3: Make the Glaze

While the sprouts are roasting, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and roasted garlic in a small saucepan. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.

Step 4: Toss and Serve

Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, toss them in the glaze while still hot. Serve immediately while the edges are still crispy.

How to Serve and Store Your Longhorn Brussels Sprouts

These Brussels sprouts are best served right out of the oven while their edges are still crackling and crisp. If you’re preparing them ahead, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in an air fryer or oven at 375°F to bring back the crispness. This recipe yields about four servings, perfect for a dinner side or light lunch with extras.
