Roasted Corn and Garlic Rice for Two image

I usually roast quite a few ears of corn when they are on sale and freeze what I don't use at that time. This is a wonderful side dish to go with a fish fry, barbecue or almost any summer meal. It's a constant at my house.-Marilyn Rodriguez, Fairbanks, Alaska
