Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Shuck the corn by removing the husks and silks, then rinse the ears under cold water to clean them.
Pat the corn dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Brush each ear of corn with a thin layer of olive oil to help with roasting.
Spread a generous amount of the seasoned butter mixture evenly onto each ear of corn.
Wrap each ear of corn tightly in aluminum foil to retain moisture while roasting.
Place the wrapped corn on a roasting pan or baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Carefully remove the corn from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before unwrapping—it will be very hot!
Unwrap the foil, place the corn on a serving platter, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful roasted corn on the cob!
