Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Rinse the corn under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoning mixture.
Brush each ear of corn evenly with the seasoning mixture, ensuring all sides are coated well.
Place the seasoned corn on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ear.
Roast the corn in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the corn every 8-10 minutes to ensure even cooking. The corn should develop a golden-brown color with slightly charred edges.
Once cooked, remove the corn from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the roasted corn for added color and flavor.
Serve the roasted corn warm with lemon wedges on the side for an optional citrusy kick.
