In the photo, the corn appears roasted or grilled, but the recipe states to boil. Please clarify.

Hi, Rebekah. The photo is there for inspiration. Please do go ahead and follow the recipe directions.

I don’t think you should use a picture for a recipe unless it is for that exact recipe. That’s like using a picture of pork chops for a t-bone steak
