- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Shuck the corn by removing the husks and silks, then rinse the ears under cold water to clean them.

Pat the corn dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.

Brush each ear of corn with a thin layer of olive oil to help with roasting.

Spread a generous amount of the seasoned butter mixture evenly onto each ear of corn.

Wrap each ear of corn tightly in aluminum foil to retain moisture while roasting.
Step 8
Place the wrapped corn on a roasting pan or baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Carefully remove the corn from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before unwrapping—it will be very hot!
