Sweet and crispy roasted corn gives a unique twist to an avocado salsa
Happy Friday! Are you ready for the weekend? We had a fun day yesterday going to the Colorado Rockies game. My husband’s work had tickets for employees and their families to go to the game. They chose 6 people to represent his company and go on the field before the game. My husband was one of the people chosen, and he got to take our 8 year old with him. Talk about one happy kid!!
A few weeks ago we went to the library and the cookbook Simply Mexican
Have you ever tried roasting corn before? I love roasted vegetables, but never thought of doing it with corn. It gets crispy, and sweet, and it is down right addicting. Don’t worry about your corn turning golden brown, that is what you want. The darker (not black) the better! Now that fresh corn is in season, this is the perfect recipe to make for taco night, or your weekend barbeque.
- 3 ears fresh corn kernels , or about 2 cups
- 1 Tbls olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup red onion , chopped
- 3 Tbls cilantro , chopped
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- 1 small jalapeno , finely chopped
- 2 avocado , peeled and diced
- 1 roma tomato , diced
- Preheat oven for 450 degrees.
- Toss corn with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place corn on a baking sheet, spreading in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until corn starts to turn golden brown.
- In a large bowl combine the rest of the ingredients. Add roasted corn, stirring to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

July 29, 2013 at 9:25 pmThis is my first time stopping by. What a great blog and your recipes all look fantastic. I love this avocado and corn salsa – I’ll definitely be making this.
What part of Colorado are you in. We come here for the summer – we stay in Breckenridge. I had a feeling when I read your bio that you must live in the mountains with the biking and hiking.
I’m glad I stopped by.
