Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6-8 ears of corn, husked and kernels removed)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup finely chopped green onions (plus extra for garnish)

½ cup diced red bell pepper

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Tortilla chips or an assortment of fresh vegetables (such as carrot sticks, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips), for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your oven is hot enough to roast the corn perfectly.

    Roast the Corn: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss until the corn is evenly coated with the spices. Spread the mixture into a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the corn is beautifully golden and begins to get slightly charred. Be sure to stir the corn halfway through the roasting time for even cooking.

      Create the Dip Base: While the corn is roasting, in another large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Using an electric hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, mix the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

        Incorporate Vegetables: Once the corn has finished roasting and has cooled slightly, gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Also add the chopped green onions, diced red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro (if using). Carefully mix until all ingredients are well combined, making sure not to break up the corn too much.

          Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Sample your dip and adjust the flavors as necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or your choice of spices to achieve your desired taste.

            Chill (Optional): For an even deeper flavor profile, consider covering the dip and letting it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. That said, it’s absolutely delicious when served right away, too!

              Serve: Transfer the delightful dip to a decorative serving bowl. If you wish, sprinkle additional chopped green onions and cilantro on top for a fresh garnish. Serve alongside tortilla chips or a colorful array of fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
