Roasted to crispy, caramelized perfection, these Longhorn Steakhouse Brussels Sprouts bring bold flavor to your dinner table. Whether you’re recreating a favorite side from your night out or introducing a new veggie hit to your home cooking rotation, this dish delivers on both texture and taste. A sweet-spicy glaze coats each crispy sprout, making it almost impossible to stop at one serving.
What sets these sprouts apart is the play between crunch and richness. The glaze combines honey, garlic, and a touch of heat, mingling with smoky roasted bits. Serve them alongside steak, grilled chicken, or even as a holiday side dish. They also hold their own as a savory snack or appetizer with just the right punch.
What Kind of Brussels Sprouts Should I Use?
Fresh is best. Look for bright green, tightly packed Brussels sprouts with minimal browning. Smaller sprouts tend to be sweeter and more tender, but even large ones roast beautifully when halved. Frozen sprouts are not ideal for this recipe since they won’t crisp up the same way.
Ingredients for the Longhorn Steakhouse Brussels Sprouts
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 clove garlic, minced

How To Make the Longhorn Steakhouse Brussels Sprouts
Step 1: Prep and Preheat
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse and trim the Brussels sprouts, then slice them in half.
Step 2: Season and Roast
Place the sprouts on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 3: Make the Glaze
While the sprouts roast, mix honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 4: Toss and Serve
Remove the sprouts from the oven and immediately toss them in the glaze. Serve hot for the best texture and flavor.
How to Serve and Store Your Longhorn Steakhouse Brussels Sprouts
These sprouts shine brightest when served fresh out of the oven, glazed and piping hot. They pair beautifully with grilled meats, roasted poultry, or a hearty pasta dish. To store, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to preserve their crisp edges.
