Corn Recipes

I don’t know about you, but I love corn! Whether I’m using it to make stir fries during the winter or enjoying some fresh grilled corn on the cob in the summer, it’s just so delicious. To help you get inspired for cooking with this versatile vegetable, I rounded up some of my favourite healthy corn recipes. There’s everything from corn chowder to veggie-filled bowls, summer side dishes and more.

Is corn healthy?

Although corn is a starchy vegetable, it’s still healthy. It’s high in fibre which helps you stay full for longer, rich in antioxidants like vitamin C which helps protect your body from various diseases and contains minerals like magnesium and potassium. As long as you don’t drown it in butter and salt, corn is a healthy addition to any meal.
