Pioneer Woman Roasted Corn Recipes

ROASTED CORN WITH FOUR-CHILE BUTTER

Steps:

• Carefully roast the chile peppers over the flame of your stovetop, on a grill or under the broiler. Using tongs, flip and move them around until their skins are completely charred. Transfer the chiles to a resealable plastic bag, seal the bag and let them steam for 10 minutes. Peel, seed and dice the chiles; set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the corn on a baking sheet, brush with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning halfway through, until cooked, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the diced chiles, chili powder, lime zest and juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper and stir. Cook on low for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• Transfer the corn to a serving platter (or a foil pan with a cover if transporting) and pour the chili butter over the corn. To serve, garnish with the chopped cilantro.

HOT CORN DIP

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium heat (or preheat an outdoor grill). Brush the corn with vegetable oil, sprinkle with a little salt and grill, turning, until slightly charred, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the red onion, garlic, bell peppers and jalapeño. Stir and cook the veggies until they?re soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs. (You can stand the cob in the center of a Bundt pan to keep the kernels from winding up all over the universe!)
• In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream and two-thirds of the monterey jack. Mix on low speed until combined. Add the scallions, veggie mixture, corn and canned chiles in their liquid. Mix until just combined.
• Spread the mixture in a 3-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the rest of the monterey jack and a little chili powder. (At this point, you can cover the pan with foil and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the dip until bubbling and golden, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm with tortilla chips.

SKILLET CORN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cut the corn from the cobs into a bowl, then use the blunt side of the knife to press and scrape the cob all the way down to get all the bits of kernel and creamy milk inside.
• Add butter to a very large skillet over medium-high heat and melt. Add the corn and toss. Add the cream and some salt and pepper to taste, then simmer for 20 minutes. Garnish with more fresh pepper.

CORN SALAD

Steps:

• For the corn: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Brush the corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked and browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• For the salad: Add the tomatoes, onions, pepper and jalapeno to a bowl. Pour over the olive oil and lime juice, sprinkle with a pinch salt and pepper and toss.
• Cut the corn off the cobs, leaving some in shards, then toss gently with the salad, keeping the shards intact. Sprinkle over the cilantro leaves and gently mix in.

EASY CORN DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Stir together the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise in a large bowl until combined. Add the corn, chiles, jalapenos, salsa, salt, pepper and half the grated cheese, then stir.
• Spread the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish and sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Bake until bubbly and golden, about 20 minutes.
• Top with the cilantro and serve warm with the corn chips on the side.

CORN RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cover the bottom of a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• For the ribs: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Using a sharp knife, carefully halve the ears of corn lengthwise (see Cook's Note). Then, cut each half lengthwise, creating 4 equal pieces. Brush each with the olive oil and season the corn with the spice mix. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the corn is nicely charred and the slices begin to curl, resembling ribs, 18 to 20 minutes.
• While the ribs bake, make the mustard mayo: Mix together the mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, mustard and honey in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and immediately brush with a little bit of the sauce. Transfer the corn ribs to a platter. Sprinkle over the fried onions and the green onions, then serve.

GRILLED CORN WITH BELL PEPPER BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Cut the corn cobs in half and place on individual foil pieces. Add 1/2 tablespoon Bell Pepper Butter and some salt and pepper to each corn half. Wrap tightly. Grill for 6 minutes, turning halfway through.
• Put the butter, bell peppers and black pepper in a food processor and process until combined. Pile the mixture into ramekins and use right away, or cover with plastic wrap and chill until needed.
