Ingredients
Vegetables
- 4 ears of corn, cut into round pieces about an inch thick
Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Oils and Fats
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s properly heated when you put the corn in for baking.
- Prepare the corn: In a large bowl, add the corn rounds and spray them lightly with olive oil to help the seasoning stick and to promote roasting.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the corn rounds evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer to allow even cooking and browning.
- Make the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, combine the Slap Ya Mama seasoning, paprika, garlic salt, and black pepper, mixing well to blend all the flavors.
- Season the corn: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the prepared corn rounds. Then, lightly spray the corn again with olive oil to enhance crispness during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the corn for 20 to 22 minutes until tender and slightly charred on the edges.
- Serve: Remove the corn from the oven and serve hot with melted butter drizzled on top or your favorite dipping sauce for extra richness and flavor.
Notes
- Slap Ya Mama seasoning is a Cajun spice blend; if unavailable, substitute with a mix of paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Spraying with olive oil helps the seasoning adhere and the corn to roast nicely without drying out.
- For a spicier version, add extra cayenne pepper or hot sauce before baking.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
- This recipe works well as a side dish for grilled meats, seafood, or casual dinners.
