How to Roast Canned Corn (3 Steps)

Roast corn is a delicious addition to a salad, chili, chowder or spicy meat dish. The best way to roast corn is on the ear but you can get the same taste by using canned corn. Roast corn is traditionally made in the oven but canned corn will end up burning since it is already cooked. You can create the same roast corn taste by sautéing the corn in a little olive oil on the stove. Canned corn will roast faster so be sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.

Things You'll Need

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • Sauté pan

Instructions

  1. Add 2 to 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil to a sauté pan.
