Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted ghee (or clarified butter)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel back the husks of the corn without removing them completely. Remove the silk from each ear of corn.
Rinse each ear of corn under cold water to remove any remaining silk, then pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine ghee, parsley, thyme, rosemary, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth herbed butter.
Brush the herbed butter generously over each ear of corn. Make sure to coat them evenly on all sides.
Once coated, pull the husks back up to cover the corn completely, twisting the tops to secure.
Place the prepared corn directly onto the oven rack or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the corn is tender.
Carefully remove the corn from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Serve the baked corn with any remaining herbed butter on the side for extra flavor.
