Ingredients

  • 2  teaspoons  cumin
  • 2  teaspoons  smoked paprika
  • 1  teaspoon  chilli flakes
  • 1  teaspoon  salt
  • 2  cloves  garlic  crushed or grated
  • 2 tablespoons  olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 4 corn on the cobs cut in half

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C / gas mark 7 / 425F.
  2. Mix together the cumin, paprika, chilli, salt, garlic, olive oil and lime juice in a large bowl.
  3. Add the corn on the cobs and stir to coat thoroughly. (Or, even better, use your hands!)
  4. Place the corn on the cobs on a large non-stick baking tray, ensuring they are well spread out and in a single layer.
  5. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

  • It’s crucial to ensure the cobs are spread out well over the baking sheet - if they are touching each other too much or piled on top of each other they will steam rather than roast!
  • I have found that if you use a good non-stick baking sheet, the cobs don’t need turning throughout their cooking time, but if you are at all worried do give them a check after 10 minutes and turn them if you think necessary.
  • Suitable for freezing (before or after cooking, so long as the cobs have not been frozen first prior to cooking.)
  • Nutrition information is approximate and meant as a guideline only.
