Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through.
  4. In the last 5 minutes of roasting, add the corn kernels to the baking sheet.
  5. While the Brussels sprouts and corn are roasting, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, and hot sauce (if using) in a small bowl.
  6. Once the Brussels sprouts and corn are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  7. Drizzle the mayonnaise mixture over the roasted Brussels sprouts and corn, then sprinkle with cotija cheese and chopped cilantro before serving.
