The flavors of sweet corn, tangy roasted cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil make this Sweet Corn Risotto with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes taste just like summer in a bowl.

This risotto is summery AF. There’s no way around it.

Sweet corn, perfectly ripe cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil play so, so well together.

The sweet corn flavor factor is amplified in this risotto, because in addition to using corn kernels, I also used about a cup of pureed corn in place of some of the broth. It takes up a little extra time, but is well worth it.

In search of even more risotto goodness? This Avocado and Corn Risotto is also pretty dang summery. You can’t go wrong with Beer, Cheddar, and Sausage Risotto, IMO. And, really. Pumpkin Risotto is appropriate at all times of the year, no matter what anyone else says.

The flavors of this risotto was inspired by this recipe found on Celebrating Sweets.
