Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams baby corn (canned or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 30 grams fresh cilantro
- 1 medium lime
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
If using canned baby corn, drain and rinse under cold water. If using fresh baby corn, wash thoroughly and pat dry.
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the baby corn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the baby corn and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the corn out in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the corn is golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the corn is roasting, finely chop the fresh cilantro and quarter the lime.
Once the corn is roasted, remove it from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro.
Squeeze the juice of the lime quarters over the roasted corn to taste.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light keto snack.
