Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
Step 2
Place the corn on a cutting board and carefully remove the husks and silks from the ears of corn.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cob to yield about 3 cups of corn kernels.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, olive oil, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and garlic powder. Toss until the corn is evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned corn kernels in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the corn is golden brown and tender.
Step 7
While the corn is roasting, finely chop the fresh cilantro and slice the lime into wedges.
Step 8
Once the corn is roasted, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving bowl.
Step 9
Add the chopped cilantro to the roasted corn and gently mix to combine.
Step 10
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and toss again to blend the flavors.
Step 11
Serve immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.
