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.
Adjust the amount of spices in the recipe to your taste preference.
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.
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.
