Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Husk the corn, removing all silk threads, and rinse the ears under cold water to ensure they are clean.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well mixed.
Place each ear of corn on a large piece of aluminum foil. Carefully brush the olive oil mixture evenly over each ear of corn.
Wrap each corn ear in the foil, ensuring it is sealed well to lock in moisture.
Place the wrapped corn ears directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the corn is tender and cooked through.
Carefully remove the corn from the oven and let it cool slightly before unwrapping.
Optionally garnish with additional fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Perfectly Roasted Corn on the Cob.
