-1 red bell pepper chopped
-1 medium onion chopped
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-1 teaspoon cumin
-1/2 teaspoon chili powder
-1 teaspoon basil
-1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

Add all ingredients to a 9x13 casserole dish and mix until well blended. Cover with foil and bake at 420 for 40 min or until potatoes are soft. Stir at 20 min.


For the corn topping:
-1/2 tablespoon olive oil
-2 cloves garlic minced
-
1 cup frozen corn
