The Easiest Way to Cook Frozen Corn
Roasting frozen corn in the oven is one of the easiest ways to bring out its sweet, natural flavor — and it’s a quick side dish that pairs with almost anything. With just a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, you can turn a bag of frozen corn into a tender, slightly caramelized treat that tastes like it came straight from the farmer’s market. This simple method makes it easy to enjoy oven roasted frozen corn any time of year.
For a complete, hearty meal, try adding this roasted corn to my Green Beans, Kielbasa, and Corn Skillet for a family-friendly dinner packed with flavor. Whether you eat it on its own or toss it into a bigger dish, roasted corn is an easy, tasty way to enjoy this classic veggie.
How to Cook Frozen Corn in the Oven
Here’s everything you need: frozen corn, olive oil and salt.
Place corn directly on the baking sheet. Yes, you can use parchment paper for easy cleanup, but in my experience, the corn always tastes better directly on the baking sheet. It’s worth the extra washing! These are my favorite baking sheets. Pour olive oil and a sprinkle of salt on top. Stir to coat the vegetables.
Tip: I always buy olive oil in bulk, it saves alot of money to buy a big bottle.
Important: You want to make sure the corn ends up in a single layer, so keep stirring to achieve this. This will make sure all the corn gets roasted and isn’t soft.
Bake for 20 minutes, making sure to stir corn half way.
Remove from oven and serve directly on plates, or put into a bowl for family style serving.
