Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Mexican Street Corn Brussels Sprouts
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim the Brussels sprouts and halve them for even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until browned and crispy.
  5. While the sprouts roast, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the corn kernels. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until slightly charred.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth.
  7. Combine the roasted Brussels sprouts with the sautéed corn in a large serving bowl. Drizzle with the creamy sauce and toss to coat. Top with cotija cheese and cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
