What’s better than fresh corn? Maybe fresh, local, organic corn roasted in pesto veganaise?

When you’re on a limited budget (I liked to joke I wanted to feed 40 people for $40, but we ended up spending about $400 and my sanity on food) fresh corn fits right in. Add to that the picnic motif and it really does make sense. I couldn’t serve it hot, obviously, so to maximize flavour they were roasted. 13 plain, 13 pesto veganaise. Easy as it sounds, I promise. I didn’t have the time to individually wrap 13 cobs of corn in foil, so take note of my short-cut. Listen up, if you can’t find pesto Veganaise, use your favourite vegan mayo with a spoonful of pesto added, or vegan mayo with your favourite spices added.

Pesto-Mayo Roasted Corn

13 cobs of corn, shucked and cleaned, ends snapped off
1 1/4 cup pesto Veganaise

Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C). You’re going to want enough aluminum foil to cover the bottom of a large baking sheet, as well as all of the cobs of corn,  so just over double the size of it. Cover the bottom of the sheet with the foil and arrange the cobs of corn on it, keeping the excess foil off the side and out of your way. It’s going to get a little messy here, so have some fun with it. Massage the Veganaise evenly into the corn. Cover tightly with the foil and bake for an hour.

For the plain ones, I did the same thing minus the mayo for the plain corn. It was so delicious, no salt or butter needed to be added.

Serve hot, cold or at room temperature.

About

We here at The Leafy Cauldron believe food should be life affirming. We can do better! Started in 2011 as passion project to share a love of Harry Potter and vegan food, we've now branched out to focus on fun, fresh and innovative recipes that also happen to be allergy-friendly with zero compromise when it comes to taste and texture.

Dissatisfied with some common attitudes in vegan cooking, we decided to start a log of our own kitchen adventures. You’ll find fun and fresh recipes here presented in a to-the-point fashion. I promise to never, ever use the words “real food”.

If you're dealing with allergies and you're hoping to find a familiar recipe, let us know on Facebook and we'll try to help you out!
