Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob (husked)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 roll Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Husk the corn, removing all the silk strands, and rinse the ears under cold water.
Lay out four sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap an ear of corn.
Place each ear of corn on a sheet of foil and spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly over the kernels.
Sprinkle the buttered corn evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using) for extra flavor.
Wrap each ear of corn tightly in the foil, ensuring no gaps for steam to escape during roasting.
Place the wrapped corn directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet for easier handling.
Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, turning the corn halfway through for even cooking.
Carefully remove the corn from the oven and allow it to cool for 2 minutes before unwrapping (use caution, as the foil will be hot).
Serve immediately, and enjoy your simple oven roasted corn on the cob!
