    Easy Oven Corn and Pepper Skillet

    Aug 4, 2019 | by Jennifer | Last Updated: Aug 1, 2021

    Jump to Recipe

    A quick and easy corn side dish recipe, this corn and pepper skillet can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Make it in the oven or completely on the BBQ!

    corn and bell pepper skillet with feta

    There are a lot of reasons to love about the corn and pepper skillet ...

    It's a great, easy and flavourful side dish for any meat or fish. It can be cooked in the oven or if it's too hot to turn on the oven, make it completely on the BBQ! It's a great use for corn on the cob that's a tiny bit past its prime. As we'll be roasting it up, it's fine to use corn that has dried out a bit.

    When fresh corn is not in season, make this one with frozen or canned corn, instead!

    And last, but not least, it's really, delicious. The corn, red and poblano peppers are roasted to sweet and lightly spicy perfection. On top, a scattering of quick pickled red onions, feta cheese and fresh cilantro add great colour and flavour. There's also a lovely, tangy Crema, that you can drizzle on to take it up a notch even more.

    You could definitely eat this hot out of the oven or off the grill, but I enjoy it most just slightly warm or at room temperature, especially for Summer eating.

    Cook's Notes

    As noted, you could use frozen or canned corn instead of corn cut off the cob for this dish. For frozen corn, I would thaw it a bit first, if possible, so that it starts cooking more quickly.

    I can't find Mexican cotija cheese in these parts, but if you can find it, you could use it instead of the feta.

    You can spice this one up as you like, with a pinch of cumin or chili powder on the vegetables before roasting.

    This dish makes a great vegetarian filling for tacos and quesadillas, too!

    Too hot to turn on the oven? How to make this on the BBQ!

    Heat grill to high (or about 400 F. if your grill has a thermometer). Heat the cast-iron skillet inside a closed grill for 5 minutes, then follow the recipe by roasting inside the closed grill for 15 minutes, stirring once. Allow to cook, stirring on an open grill over flame to char it up a bit. Remove from grill and allow to cool a bit. Top per the recipe and enjoy!

      Hi Jennifer, I made your roasted corn and pepper salad tonight and served it with fresh halibut. It was a hit with our guests! Very flavourful and easy to make; thank you! I added 1/4 tsp of cumin, as suggested and we loved it.

      Super flavours. I tested the dish before I added the goat cheese and it tasted great before I added the cheese. Could eat either way. It served as a main dish for myself and a side for my husband. Definitely a keeper.

      Morning Jennifer,
      Have made this recipe. Thanks for resending it. I am wondering about the pickled onions. Where is the recipe for them ?
      Is it just the oil etc.
      Thanks. ??

      Made this dish with two variations - frozen corn & no cilantro (not a fan!). It certainly was tasty with barbecued pork chops. Doubled the receipe as potatoes weren't on the menu. The pickled onions & crema (with cumin) & feta were delicious toppings. Definitely worthy of a repeat!

      Definitely going to give this a try this summer. I'm wondering if you could make up the pickled onions in advance, and maybe even make enough for several batches, and keep it on hand in the refrigerator? I also suggest to other readers that while you're grilling and making creme fraiche, this might pair well with your Grilled Potato Salad with Creme Fraiche Grainy Mustard Dressing (that is an easy to make and unique dish), and maybe your Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Bread (which is the bomb).

        Hi AOK! And yes, you can totally make the pickled onions ahead (and make more!). They are actually nicer the longer they sit really. I enjoyed the left-overs from my batch on a burger last night. They had been in the fridge for 36 hours and they were great :) And thanks so much for your other suggestions, too!

          Another recipe that is a total keeper. This dish was absolutely delicious. Made this for a group so I doubled the recipe and there was not a drop leftover. Everyone just loved it. The extra effort to put this together is 100% worth it. I made the pickled red onions in advance and also chopped up the red and poblano peppers a couple days earlier and stored in the fridge, so it was faster to put together when I was ready. It is unique and the flavors are perfect together. I made this and your Grilled Potato Salad since I was making creme fraiche and they paired well. Can't wait to make it again this summer.

              Jennifer I have made this dish several times and just want to tell you again how much I love this. Every time I make this it ends up devoured by all. I used 11 ears of corn last night with 1 whole poblano and red pepper. It served 8 people (with many going after seconds). My creme fraiche was not cooperating (couple only find ultra pasteurized cream and used some homemade buttermilk, so maybe that was it), so I ended up using sour cream and that worked great. I used a cumin and cayenne mix this time and liked it.

              I also made your Grilled Potato Salad and just love these two dishes together. Works great with steak, chicken, brats or whatever.

      We grill year 'round, but I get super excited when it is officially BBQ season! I love seeing everyone's recipe ideas and creations! This skillet is EVERYTHING, Jennifer!
