There’s something about the simplicity of sweetcorn that feels like summer in every bite. When coated with a blend of warming spices, roasted to perfection, and paired with a vibrant, zesty salsa, it transforms into a dish that’s as refreshing as it is satisfying.
This recipe is perfect for those who love quick and fuss-free cooking. Using an air fryer, the sweetcorn becomes tender and lightly charred in just 15-20 minutes. If you prefer, it can also be cooked in the oven or on the barbecue for that smoky, outdoor flavour.
The magic lies in the salsa—a mix of fresh parsley, crisp red pepper, and pickled red onion, all brightened with a squeeze of lime. It adds a burst of colour and a tangy contrast that complements the natural sweetness of the corn.
Enjoy it straight from the cob as a snack or serve it as a side dish for your summer gatherings. It’s a delicious reminder that simple, wholesome ingredients can create the most memorable meals.
