Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Husk the corn and remove all silks. Rinse each ear of corn under cold water.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine, creating the herbed butter.
Place each ear of corn on a large piece of aluminum foil. Brush the herbed butter generously over each ear, ensuring every part is covered, including the ends.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered corn for an added layer of flavor.
Wrap each ear of corn tightly in the foil, ensuring there are no gaps or openings.
Place the foil-wrapped corn on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 30 minutes, turning the corn halfway through cooking time to ensure even baking.
Carefully remove the corn from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes to cool slightly.
Unwrap the foil, taking caution as steam will be hot. Serve the baked corn warm as a delightful side dish.
