Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 medium lime lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Husk the corn and remove all silk. Rinse the ears under cold water and dry them with a kitchen towel.
Place the corn on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Using your hands, ensure the corn is well coated with the oil and spices.
Roast the corn in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and slightly browned, turning the ears halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
While the corn is roasting, roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves and prepare the lime wedges for serving.
Once the corn is done, remove it from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lime juice.
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the roasted corn for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve the cilantro roasted corn immediately, with additional lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
