Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob (in husks)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the unshucked corn (in husks) directly on a baking sheet. The husks will help to trap moisture, keeping the corn juicy as it roasts.
Bake the corn on the middle oven rack for 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway through to ensure even roasting.
While the corn is roasting, prepare the butter seasoning. In a small bowl, mix soft butter with salt and black pepper. Add a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness if desired, and set aside.
After 30 minutes, remove the corn from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes so it's easier to handle.
Peel back the husks and remove the silks. Be careful, as the corn will be hot. You can leave the husks attached at the end for an elegant look if serving immediately.
Brush the corn generously with the prepared butter and seasoning. Ensure all surfaces of the corn are coated for maximum flavor.
For a finishing touch, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the corn if desired.
Serve hot as a side dish and enjoy your perfectly roasted corn on the cob!
