    About the recipe

    I think it is important to have a few simple vegetable side dishes in ones repertoire. Like this tofu asparagus stir fry or this spicy vankaya masala kura are some of my favorites.

    Here I have a simple and addictive roasted baby corn. I always have a couple of cans of baby corn in the pantry to use in Indo-Chinese dishes like this Schezwan fried rice. But when I see fresh baby corn at the store, I buy them right away to make delicious recipe.

    White bowl with roast baby corn.

    This baby corn recipe is from a Telugu cooking show. The best part of this dish is that it is made on the stove top. But you can also bake or air-fry the baby corn.

    It is spicy and delicious and takes just a few minutes to make. Adjust the spice level to your liking. Also you add more vegetables like bell peppers to make the dish colorful. You can also add your favorite protein like paneer or tofu to make this a wholesome meal.

    Serve it as an appetizer or snack and I'm sure people will come back for seconds.

    Expert Tips

    • You can use either fresh baby corn or canned baby corn. Make sure to rinse and drain canned ones before using.
    • Nutritional yeast gives the recipe a nice nutty, cheesy flavor. But chickpea flour is a great substitute as well.
    • For extra flavor, you can add 1" piece of finely grated ginger and 2 finely minced garlic cloves along with the onion.
    • To make oven roasted baby corn, preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the baby corn with salt and nutritional yeast (chickpea flour). Bake for 15~18 minutes or until crispy.
    • You can also air fry the baby corn at 400°F for 8~10 minutes.
    • In summer, you can also grill them on an outdoor grill.
    • Add more vegetables like bell peppers to make the dish colorful.
    • Adjust the amount of spices in the recipe to your taste preference.
    • You can also add your favorite protein like paneer or tofu to make this a wholesome meal.
    • Roasted baby corn is best served hot. But if you have any leftovers, then store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

      It might seem surprising but I haven't tried baby corn so far though it seems to be a favorite of my husband's. I remember him getting really impressed when he saw your dish in September. I have promptly bookmarked it. 🙂
