- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Strip the corn of its husks and silk. Rinse each ear thoroughly to remove any remaining silk.
Pat each ear of corn dry with paper towels.
Brush each ear of corn with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the corn.
Wrap each ear of corn individually in aluminum foil, twisting the ends to seal.
Place the wrapped corn on a baking sheet.
Roast the corn in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
Remove the corn from the oven and carefully unwrap them, watching out for steam.
Place a tablespoon of butter on each ear of hot corn and allow it to melt.
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra hint of zest if desired.
