Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 roll Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Start by preparing the corn. Peel back the husks and remove the silks (the fine strands) from each ear of corn. Rinse the ears under cold water to remove any remaining silk.
Cut 4 pieces of aluminum foil large enough to wrap each ear of corn individually. Lay out the foil pieces on your work surface.
Place one ear of corn in the center of each foil sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter evenly over each ear.
Sprinkle the corn with a pinch of salt, some black pepper, and garlic powder if desired.
Wrap each ear of corn tightly in the foil, making sure the edges are sealed to prevent steam from escaping during cooking.
Place the wrapped corn directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, carefully remove one piece of corn and open the foil to check doneness. The kernels should be tender and juicy.
Once done, carefully remove all the foil-wrapped corn from the oven. Let them sit for 3–5 minutes to cool slightly before unwrapping.
Serve hot with extra butter or your favorite toppings like grated cheese, chopped herbs, or lime wedges.
