Roasted Corn with Manchego & Lime

This vibrant roasted corn with Manchego and lime is a sophisticated take on classic charred sweetcorn. By roasting the corn in its husk first, the kernels remain incredibly juicy, providing a sweet contrast to the salty, nutty notes of the Spanish Manchego cheese. The addition of fresh lime zest and a hint of chilli brings a bright, zesty lift that makes this dish a standout vegetarian side for any occasion.

Perfect for summer entertaining or as a bold accompaniment to a weekend roast, this recipe is as simple to prepare as it is impressive to serve. The combination of heat from the jalapeño and the cooling, aromatic chives ensures a well-balanced flavour profile. Serve it warm in a large bowl for a seasonal dish that is naturally gluten-free and packed with fresh, wholesome ingredients.
