Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw and pat dry. If using canned corn, drain and pat dry.
Toss the corn with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Spread the corn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the corn in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until it is slightly charred and golden.
While the corn is roasting, place the red bell peppers directly over a gas burner or under a broiler to char the skin. Turn occasionally until the peppers are evenly blackened on all sides. Once charred, place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam for 10 minutes.
Peel the charred skin off the red peppers, remove the seeds, and dice the flesh into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted corn, diced red peppers, black beans, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden on top.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping.
