Coconut & chili corn on the cob

This is such a ridiculously simple but totally delicious snack that takes all of 5 minutes to enjoy and involves just five simple ingredients, two of which are salt and pepper!!

Corn on the cob provides one of the best sourcess of fibre for healthy digestion and has anti-inflammatory powers, like most plant foods do! It is also packed with vitamin C. The addition of coconut oil, as well as adding to the flavour profile of the snack, also contributes healthy fats to the dish which helps to slow the release of sugars naturally contained in the corn into the blood stream meaning it’ll do your energy levels a huge favour for longer afterwards!

In this recipe I have added chilli flakes but tamari also works amazingly too 🙂
