There’s a soup place in town, people here LOVE their soups.
As many of you know, I’m a picky eater, so it’s not always easy to please me but I did like their three pepper soup. So much, in fact, I made a note on my phone to create my own.
As always, when I opened my fridge today I noticed that I had a lot of vegetables that needed to be used up (whoops) and one of those vegetables happened to be corn.
We don’t eat corn often, but when I saw that there was a sale on pre-shucked cobs I grabbed them thinking I would make a big steak dinner.
Then it snowed and I avoid going outside when the white stuff is on the ground.
So before I wasted yet another veggie, I grabbed the white corn and decided to roast it. Why? I thought it would be fancy (this is as fancy as I get folks).
How to roast corn kernels (the quick and dirty way)
I’m too lazy to put together a thought out post, so here’s what I did in bullet points:
- Slice the corn off the cob (or use canned corn)
- Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Lay on a baking tray and roast at 400º for 15 minutes, or until it starts to brown.
