Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts Fresh, outer leaves removed and stems trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For roasting Brussels sprouts
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt For seasoning Brussels sprouts before roasting
  • 4 tablespoons butter Melted, for the signature sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder Or Calabrian chili rub if available
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika Adds smoky depth to the sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt For the honey butter sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes Adjust to taste for heat level
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup Pure maple syrup works best
  • 1 tablespoon honey For natural sweetness in the sauce

Equipment

  • 1 Large pot For blanching Brussels sprouts in boiling water
  • 1 Large baking sheet To roast Brussels sprouts with proper spacing
  • 1 Small mixing bowl To whisk together the signature honey butter sauce
  • 1 Sharp knife For halving Brussels sprouts and trimming stems

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Brussels sprouts and preheat. Start by heating your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with foil. Bring a big pot of salted water to boil while you clean the Brussels sprouts. Remove any damaged outer leaves and trim the stems.
  2. Cut and prep for perfect texture. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise to help them get more sauce and crispy edges. This step is crucial for getting that perfect Longhorn steakhouse brussel sprouts texture.

  3. Blanch for restaurant results. Drop the halved Brussels sprouts into the boiling water for about 6 minutes until they're just fork tender. Drain them well and pat completely dry with paper towels.

  4. Make the signature sauce. While the sprouts cool, whisk together melted butter, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, red pepper flakes, maple syrup, and honey in a small bowl. This copycat Longhorn brussel sprouts sauce is what makes the whole dish incredible.

  5. Roast to crispy perfection. Toss the dried sprouts with olive oil and salt, then spread them cut-side down on your prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Finish with the magic sauce. Remove from oven and immediately toss the hot Brussels sprouts with your prepared sauce. The heat will help the sauce coat every surface perfectly. Serve right away while they're still sizzling.
