Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Rinse the corn under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoning mixture.

Step 4

Brush each ear of corn evenly with the seasoning mixture, ensuring all sides are coated well.

Step 5

Place the seasoned corn on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ear.

Step 6

Roast the corn in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the corn every 8-10 minutes to ensure even cooking. The corn should develop a golden-brown color with slightly charred edges.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the corn from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the roasted corn for added color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve the roasted corn warm with lemon wedges on the side for an optional citrusy kick.
