Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Carefully peel back the husks of the corn without removing them entirely. Remove the silk strands and fold the husks back into place.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Using a brush, lightly coat the corn with the olive oil mixture, making sure to get under the husks as well.
Wrap each ear of corn individually in aluminum foil, keeping the husks as intact as possible for extra flavor.
Place the wrapped corn directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Once done, remove the corn from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil. Be cautious of the steam.
Brush each ear with lemon juice and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Enjoy your heart-healthy roasted corn as a delicious side dish or snack!
