Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the bell pepper strips and thawed corn on a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tbsp garlic-infused oil and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer and roast for 20–25 minutes, until the peppers are tender and lightly charred at the edges.

While the vegetables roast, combine the rice, water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to the lowest setting, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
