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.
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 😀
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!!).
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?!!

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 🙂
Eb Gargano says
Thanks Nikki! Yes, I like corn on the cob with melted butter too, but this recipe definitely takes corn on the cob to the next level! Eb x
Corina Blum says
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
Eb Gargano says
Thanks Corina – I’d love to know what you and Master Spice think, if you try it! Eb 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!
Eb Gargano says
Ooops! Thanks so much for the spot. (I must’ve been having a mad moment!) I’ve corrected it now 😀
