Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked
- olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Husk the corn and remove all the silk threads. Rinse the corn under cold water to remove any remaining silk.
Pat the corn dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Lightly spray each ear of corn with the olive oil spray, ensuring a thin, even coating.
Sprinkle each ear evenly with salt and ground black pepper.
Wrap each ear of corn individually in aluminum foil, making sure they are securely sealed to steam during roasting.
Place the wrapped corn directly on the oven rack. Bake for 25 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Carefully unwrap the corn from the foil, watching out for hot steam.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the corn for a fresh touch and serve with lime wedges for a zesty finish.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat perfectly roasted corn on the cob.
