Quick, healthy and delicious, this Easy Roasted Mexican Corn on the Cob is a real crowd pleaser! Serve as a side with all your Mexican favourites.

Easy Roasted Mexican Corn on the Cob (Vegan)

A few weeks ago, I shared with you my Easy Mexican Rice recipe – a delicious mix of rice, corn, black beans, peppers and Mexican spices. I served my Mexican rice with a couple of Easy Peasy Foodie favourites: my Chunky Guacamole and my Mexican Roasted Sweet Potato Cubes, as well as a new entrant to the Easy Peasy Foodie repertoire: this delicious Easy Roasted Mexican Corn on the Cob!

And I promised you I’d share the recipe… sorry it’s taken so long!! I hope you think it’s worth the wait 😀

Easy One Pot Mexican Rice with Black Beans and Corn (Vegan)

It’s a very simple recipe. Just mix together chilli flakes, spices, lime juice and a little olive oil and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until done to your liking. Alternatively you can grill these on the barbecue (when it’s barbecue weather!!).

Easy Roasted Mexican Corn on the Cob (Vegan)

You can eat this Easy Roasted Mexican Corn on the Cob hot or cold, either on the cob or cut off and mixed into other dishes. Whichever way you do it, it’s bound to be popular! My family couldn’t get enough.

My Easy Roasted Mexican Corn on the Cobs would go brilliantly with any of my easy Mexican recipes. But if I was going to select a couple of my favourites I’d go for my Easy Chicken Mole or my Mexican Chicken Traybake. If you prefer a plant-based main, go for my Vegetable Mole or my Vegetable Fajitas.

And just for info – the spice mix is exactly the same as the spice mix for my Mexican Roasted Sweet Potato Cubes, so why not save time and do a double quantity of the spice mix and make both of these delicious Mexican sides?!!

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 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

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

    Love the sound of this recipe Eb! I love corn on the cob but I always have it with either melted butter or maple syrup. This would make a nice change! Pinned and Yummed 🙂

    This looks so good! Master Spice and I love corn on the cob and it’s a side I really love, even though only half the family eat it. It’s still worth making! Thanks for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice x

    Ooh, I love Mexican street corn! Your version is so simple and gorgeous: I can’t wait to try it. You can’t go wrong with this spice mix—and, of course, the garlic! YUM.

    You accidentally wrote “sweet potato cubes” in step 4 of the instructions on a corn recipe!
