Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño or red onion, finely diced (optional)
Instructions
1. Toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Roast them in the oven at 400°F to 425°F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until crispy and browned.
2. Alternatively, air fry the Brussels sprouts at the same temperature for 8 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
3. While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, warm or sauté the corn kernels in a skillet for a few minutes until hot and slightly charred.
4. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, and smoked paprika to make the sauce.
5. Once the corn is warmed through and the Brussels sprouts are roasted, toss the cooked corn with the prepared sauce.
6. Gently fold in the crispy Brussels sprouts.
7. Top with crumbled cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, and diced jalapeño or red onion (if using).
Notes
For a vegan version, replace mayonnaise and sour cream with plant-based alternatives, and omit cotija cheese.
