Simple Roasted Corn

Have you ever roasted corn? Cooking the fresh kernels at a high temperature, intensifies the corn's sweetness and takes corn flavor to a whole new level. The sweet kernels get golden brown and crunchy around the edges, making them reminiscent of popcorn. Roasted corn is great as a side dish, on its own, or combined with other fresh, seasonal produce like in our Roasted Corn and Watermelon Salsa recipe.

"Learn to Love Veggies" Tip

Get your kids in the kitchen to help prepare the corn for the oven. They can help transfer the cut corn to a bowl, drizzle the corn with oil, sprinkle the salt, and spread the corn on the baking sheet. Simple, delicious, and easy... what could be better?!

Roasting fresh corn kernels at a high temperature intensifies the corn's sweetness and takes the corn flavor to a whole new level. The sweet kernels get golden brown and crunchy around the edges, making them reminiscent of popcorn.

Ingredients

• 3 ears of corn
• 2 teaspoons avocado or olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Carefully, cut the kernels off the corn cobs. Transfer corn kernels to a bowl.
3. Add oil and salt to the bowl and stir to coat the corn.
4. Dump corn onto the prepared sheet pan and spread into an even layer.
5. Roast corn until golden brown around the edges of the pan, about 15 minutes. If you want the corn extra crunchy, stir the corn and return to the oven for 5 more minutes. Watch closely so corn does not burn.
