Simple Roasted Corn with Sweet Peppers
This colorful side dish brings out the natural sweetness of fresh corn with a pop of flavor from sautéed peppers.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like the smell of corn roasting in the kitchen during the summer months. It is one of my favorite ways to use up fresh produce because it feels special enough for a dinner party but easy enough for a busy weeknight meal.
My biggest tip for this recipe is to let the corn sit in the pan for a minute or two without stirring. This gives the kernels a beautiful golden brown color and adds a wonderful toasted flavor that makes the whole dish pop.
