Here’s what you’ll need to make Confetti Corn.

• Corn: Corn is a whole grain and starchy vegetable. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn in this recipe. Canned and frozen varieties can be just as healthy as fresh options and may be easier to find in the grocery store. Just look for options with no added salt, sugar, or oils by checking the ingredients list on the back of the package.
• Peppers: This recipe includes sweet red bell pepper and green poblano peppers. Poblano peppers can be a little spicy so if you have any young children in the family, you may want to deseed the pepper before chopping.
• Carrots: Carrots and other orange produce contain vitamin A which helps you see better at night.
• Fresh Herbs: Herbs are a great way to add a boost of flavor to recipes without adding extra salt, sugar, or fats. This recipe uses green onions and fresh cilantro.
