Description

Lover of fresh cooked corn? Lover of fresh food? You’ll love this combination of fresh, warming flavours.

Resisting the temptation to take a big bite out of roasted corn – for the sake of burnt fingers – is extremely hard to do when you’ve just pulled it straight from the oven.

For this recipe, we kept the husk intact and somewhat plaited them into a tail to aid us when slicing off the juicy kernels while they’re still warm. Simply pull the husk back, piece by piece and use one piece to tie it into a bunch. They’ll dry and brown in the oven but won’t char – provided they’re not overcooked (yes, first time round… we did just that)!

So enjoy – it’s a simple, flavourful, warming and light recipe.

We’ve served ours on warm wraps and with seafood – how do you like yours?
