This baked corn on the cob is super easy to make and simply delicious. The corn itself gets juicy after baking and is paired with soft and smooth plant based butter, zingy lime zest and a bit of heat from the chilli flakes. The flavour combinations are simple, but work incredibly well together.
This baked corn is a great dish to make in the summer. While baked corn is the little lesser known sibling of the grilled corn, it’s definitely worth a try. You can serve the corn as part of a bigger spread together with an array of salads or enjoy them as a delicious snack.
As I have mentioned in a few other recipe posts, the quality of your ingredients make a massive difference to the taste of your finished dish. This is especially true if there are very little ingredients in a recipe. If you can, choose a fresh corn that feels firm and has plump yellow kernels. Personally, I find that a lot of independent green grocers and farmers markets have much better produce than the large scale supermarkets.
