roasted corn
Charred cob snack
Roasted corn is corn on the cob cooked over direct heat—grilled, fire-roasted, or charred—until the kernels caramelize and develop smoky, slightly sweet flavor.
A staple of summer cookouts, street food vendors, and state fairs: We grabbed roasted corn from a cart outside the stadium.
Often served with butter, salt, lime, or chile powder.
