  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Shuck corn and remove the silks. Cut off the base of the stalk and slice kernels off the cob. Transfer kernels to a rimmed baking sheet. Add green pepper and shallot. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss and spread out in an even layer.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir and spread back out on the sheet. Continue broiling until corn starts to brown, about 5 minutes more. Cool for 5 minutes.
