Print Recipe

A smoky, fresh roasted corn salsa with jalapeño and lime that’s freezer-friendly and perfect for quick gatherings or everyday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn, husked (or 3 cups frozen corn)
  • 1 medium jalapeño, seeded (or keep seeds for more heat)
  • ½ small red onion, finely diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Juice of 2 fresh limes (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste (start with 1 teaspoon)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the corn ears and jalapeño on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Roast the corn and jalapeño for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the corn kernels are charred and blistered and the jalapeño skin is blackened slightly.
  3. Cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cobs. Remove the stem and seeds from the jalapeño, then finely chop the flesh. Keep seeds if you prefer more heat.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted corn kernels, chopped jalapeño, finely diced red onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro.
  5. Add the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and ground cumin. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine the flavors.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
  7. Serve immediately or portion into airtight containers or freezer bags, label with date, and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Notes

Do not skip roasting the jalapeño along with the corn to soften the pepper and deepen its flavor. Wash hands well after handling jalapeño to avoid irritation. Roast extra corn for snacks or future use. Let salsa rest for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to marry. Freeze in small portions to avoid thawing more than needed.
