Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the ends and halve about 1 pound of Brussels sprouts. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through.
  3. While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, combine 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of sour cream, lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Once roasted, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl. Pour the creamy dressing over and toss to coat. Sprinkle with cotija cheese and cilantro before serving.
