Description

Enjoy restaurant-quality Longhorn Steakhouse Crispy Brussels Sprouts at home with this easy air fryer copycat. Caramelized, crispy sprouts tossed in a sweet-and-spicy butter glaze — ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients 

For the Brussels sprouts

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt

For the sweet-and-spicy glaze

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions

Air Fryer Method

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil and sea salt until evenly coated.
  • Arrange cut-side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until deeply golden and crispy.
  • While the sprouts cook, whisk together the melted butter, chili powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, red pepper flakes, maple syrup, and honey.
  • Toss the hot, crispy sprouts in the glaze until well coated and serve immediately.

Oven Method

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
  • Toss the sprouts with olive oil and sea salt and spread cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  • Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  • Prepare the glaze as above and toss the sprouts in it before serving.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

  • Don't overcrowd the basket — cook in batches so the sprouts crisp instead of steam.
  • Pat the sprouts dry before seasoning for maximum crunch.
  • Always glaze after cooking, not before, to keep the edges crispy.
  • For a milder version, reduce or omit the chili powder and red pepper flakes.
