Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 large Lime
- 2 large Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 medium Avocado
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the husks and silk from the corn and rinse under running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
Brush each ear of corn with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Roast the corn in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the corn is tender and has a slight char.
While the corn is roasting, finely chop the cilantro leaves and set aside.
Juice the lime and mince the garlic.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and cumin.
Cut the avocado into small cubes.
Remove the corn from the oven and allow to cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob into a large mixing bowl.
Add the cilantro mixture and cubed avocado to the bowl with corn kernels, and toss gently to combine.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious side dish or topping.
