Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Peel back the husks of each corn ear without removing them completely. Remove the silks from each ear of corn and fold the husks back into place, securing them with kitchen string if necessary.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix thoroughly.
Brush each ear of corn generously with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Wrap each corn ear individually in aluminum foil, sealing the edges tightly to trap steam.
Place the wrapped corn directly on the oven rack and roast for 25 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Remove from the oven and carefully unwrap the corn, taking care to avoid the hot steam.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over each ear of corn and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately, optionally adding extra lime wedges for additional zest.
