If there’s a snack I love to eat, it’s Sweet Corn in the Oven very warm, fresh from my grandmother’s hot oven.
Since I was a child, corn has been one food we always ate at home. Whether for curry dishes full of coconut sauce or just boiled or oven-baked sweet corn, as a snack.
Corn is the king at my grandma’s kitchen and I LOVE it!
Now that I no longer live near my grandmother, I miss that call in the middle of the day “come by my place, I have an amazing corn for you” or “today I have a nice surprise, but I won’t tell you what it is until you come by!”. ahah
So now I do it myself, it reminds me the good old days. And I love it, exactly because it reminds me of my grandmother and her wonderful cooking.
Perhaps my biggest inspiration in the kitchen!❤️
The big secret to be very similar to grandma’s recipe is to let the corn roast to become crunchy.
The rest, only my grandma knows, but I keep trying…
