Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Peel back the husks of the corn without removing them completely and remove all the silk threads from the ears. Fold the husks back over the corn.
Step 3
Soak the corn in cold water for 10 minutes to help prevent the husks from burning.
Step 4
After soaking, pat the corn dry with a clean towel and peel back the husks again. Rub each ear of corn evenly with 1 tablespoon of butter and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 5
Season each ear with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Fold the husks back over the corn to cover the kernels as much as possible.
Step 6
Wrap each ear of corn tightly in aluminum foil to lock in moisture and flavor.
Step 7
Place the wrapped corn directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and lightly charred.
Step 8
Carefully remove the corn from the oven, unwrap the foil, and peel back the husks. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious roasted corn on the cob!
