Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 medium lime, juiced
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the husks and silk from the corn ears, then rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the kernels off the cob by standing each ear on its end in a large bowl and using a sharp knife to slice downward, going around the cob until all the kernels are removed.
Spread the corn kernels evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the corn, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss the corn with your hands or a spatula to ensure it's evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Roast the corn in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the kernels are golden brown and slightly crispy.
While the corn is roasting, finely chop the cilantro and set it aside.
Once the corn is roasted, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the roasted corn to a serving bowl and add the chopped cilantro and lime juice.
Toss everything together to combine, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve warm.
