How To Make lima beans and roasted corn

  • 1
    Bring the lima beans and 1 inch of water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until tender, 5 minutes for frozen beans. Drain and set aside.

    While the lima beans are simmering, put the 4 cups of corn and 2 inches of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • 3
