Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and pat dry the baby corn. Place them in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss them gently to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.
Lay the baby corn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, turning the baby corn halfway through, until they are tender and lightly golden.
While the baby corn is baking, prepare the herbed butter. Finely chop the fresh parsley and chives and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chives. Stir well to combine.
Season the herbed butter with salt and black pepper. Continue stirring over low heat for about 2-3 minutes until the flavors meld, but do not let the butter brown.
Once the baby corn is cooked, remove them from the oven.
Transfer the baked baby corn to a serving platter. Drizzle the herbed butter generously over the top, ensuring even coverage over all pieces.
Serve warm and enjoy this keto-friendly, flavorful side dish.
