Ingredients
Method
Roasting the Brussels Sprouts
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help the Brussels sprouts caramelize and become crispy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the sprouts are evenly coated. This ensures that they roast evenly and develop flavor.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper roasting.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Preparing the Street Corn Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and chili powder until smooth. This creamy sauce will add richness and a kick of flavor to the Brussels sprouts.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more lime juice for acidity or chili powder for heat.
Assembling the Dish
- Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Drizzle the street corn sauce generously over the roasted Brussels sprouts, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro over the top for added flavor and freshness.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.

Notes
For an extra kick, consider adding diced jalapeños to the sauce or as a topping. Adjust the amount of chili powder based on your heat preference.
