Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnishing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Husk the corn, removing all the silk and any blemished or damaged outer leaves. Rinse the corn under cold running water to remove any remaining silk strands.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
Using a pastry brush or your hands, evenly coat each ear of corn with the olive oil mixture.
Wrap each ear of corn individually in aluminum foil, ensuring they are tightly sealed to retain moisture during roasting.
Place the wrapped corn directly on the middle oven rack and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Remove the corn from the oven and let it cool slightly before carefully unwrapping each ear from the foil.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.
