Ingredients

• 4 ears Corn on the cob
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Shuck the corn by removing the husks and silks, and then rinse each ear of corn under cold water to clean them thoroughly.

Step 3

Tear off four large sheets of aluminum foil, each approximately 12x12 inches in size, to wrap each ear of corn individually.

Step 4

Place one ear of corn in the center of each foil sheet.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Spread one tablespoon of the butter mixture evenly over each ear of corn. Rub the butter mixture onto the kernels for maximum flavor.

Step 7

Drizzle each ear of corn lightly with 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 8

Wrap the foil around each ear of corn tightly, making sure to seal the edges to trap in the steam during baking.

Step 9

Place the foil-wrapped corn directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet for easier handling. Bake for 25 minutes, turning them over halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 10

Carefully remove the corn from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before unwrapping. Be cautious of the hot steam when opening the foil.

Step 11

Serve the foil-baked corn immediately as a side dish. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped parsley or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
