Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Chipotle Mayo

My children hate vegetables, so whenever I serve them they MUST be accompanied by a dip. Seeing as how brussels sprouts aren’t everybody’s cup of tea, I find it helpful to do the following: one - always use fresh Brussels, and two - never take no for an answer when getting people to try them, especially your little ones. Vegetables are a hard no for most kids, but if you give them something colorful and tasty to dip them into, you may be surprised by how quickly they disappear.
