Mexican-Style Corn-Kernel Bake


2 servings

Ingredients:

1 ½ C. frozen Fire Roasted Corn Kernels, de-frosted & drained

2 Tbsp. Mayonnaise

¼ - ½ tsp. Ground Chipotle Chili Pepper

Salt to taste

Freshly ground Black Pepper to taste

¼ - ½ C. grated Parmesan Cheese, divided

1 Green Onion, top only, thinly sliced

Lime Juice, to taste


Method:

In a smaller-sized oven proof bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients

Cover tightly with foil

*In an Air Fryer, set the temperature to 325° and time to 21 minutes

Once the AF is ready, place the bowl in the center of the basket

Bake for 13 minutes, until everything is bubbling

Uncover and sprinkle over the top about half your grated Cheese

Return the bowl to the AF to continue baking for another 8 minutes, until lightly brown on top

Remove carefully and sprinkle on the remaining Cheese, a bit more Chipotle Chili Pepper, a few drops of Lime Juice and the Green Onion tops


*Alternately: preheat the oven to 350° and bake covered dish for 20 minutes

Uncover, sprinkle on half of your Cheese and continue to bake an additional 15-20 minutes, until lightly brown

Finish the dish as above

**Cook’s Note: any sort of Corn Kernels will do in this dish, I just liked that extra flavor of the Fire Roasted frozen Corn Kernels

This is an extremely customizable dish.
You make it as mild or spicy as you like with the ground Chipotle Chili Pepper and I like the smokiness it brings as well .
The Lime Juice adds a nice somethin'-somethin' !!
Vegan Mayo and Cheese could easily be swapped in.
Served warm, this really is a lovely dish for a snack, a side dish or even as a whole meal if you want.
