How to Make Roasted Corn And Black Bean Salad

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Spread the corn in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly charred and tender.
  4. While the corn is roasting, prepare the remaining ingredients: finely chop 1/2 cup red onion, 1/2 cup bell pepper (any color), and 1/4 cup cilantro.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the roasted corn, 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained), the chopped red onion, bell pepper, and cilantro.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately or chill for later.
