Instructions
Creating Mexican Street Corn Brussels Sprouts is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Roast Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, tossing halfway through.
4. Make Lime Crema: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, mix the mayonnaise and lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.
5. Combine Ingredients: Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the lime crema over the sprouts and toss gently to coat.
6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled queso fresco and chopped cilantro over the Brussels sprouts for added flavor and texture.
7. Serve: Transfer the dish to a serving platter and garnish with lime wedges for a refreshing touch.
