How to Make Roasted Corn And Black Bean Chili

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels in a large baking pan.
  3. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the corn is tender and slightly browned.
  5. While the corn roasts, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon chili powder. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Pour in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), and 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option).
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  9. Stir in the roasted corn and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  10. Serve hot, topped with your favorite garnishes such as sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.
