How To Replicate Longhorn Brussels Sprouts
This copycat recipe is super easy. You will want to line a baking pan with aluminum foil, it will make for an easy clean up. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash and Season the Brussels Sprouts
- Wash the Brussels sprouts, peeling away old or wilted outer leaves. Trim the stems shorter. Sliver your garlic cloves and your onion. I use red onion for the pop of color.
- Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss so the oil and seasonings coats the Brussels sprouts.
Oven Roast The Brussels Sprouts
- Spread the seasoned, olive oil coated Brussels sprouts onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread the Brussels sprouts and vegetables out evenly on the baking sheet.
- Roast at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes or until golden and crispy on the outside.
Season To Taste and Serve
- Remove from the oven, and using a spatula, transfer from the baking sheet to a serving bowl.
- Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or even garlic powder (if you want more garlic taste). Serve immediately.
Tips for Success
- For extra crispy Brussels sprouts, try cutting them in half or quarters. This will increase the surface area that comes into contact with the heat.
- If your Brussels sprouts are very large, you may need to blanch them before roasting. This will help them cook through evenly. To blanch, simply bring a pot of water to a boil, add the Brussels sprouts, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then drain and toss them with oil and seasonings before roasting.
- Get creative with your toppings! Roasted Brussels sprouts are delicious on their own, but you can also top them with crumbled bacon, Parmesan cheese, balsamic glaze, or a fried egg.
