Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob is full of a sweet, robust flavor.
Roasting is a simple cooking method that brings out the amazing taste of fresh corn.
PREPARE FRESH EARS OF CORN TO ROAST
Trim the top and bottom ends of each ear with a sharp knife or scissors.
Arrange on an ungreased pan OR place directly on oven’s middle rack.
ROASTING TIME
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roast until corn reaches desired tenderness (or softness).
While roasting, the green husk will turn brown and develop a paper-like texture.
Wear oven mitts or use potholders to carefully remove hot ears of corn from oven.
Allow to cool at least five minutes before peeling back husks and removing the silk.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Tie husks into a knot on the end of each ear.
Trim excess with sharp scissor.
Use knot as a handle when eating.
If desired, season with preferred amounts of unsalted butter, salt and coarse ground black pepper.
Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob pairs well with Smoky Collard Greens and Hamburger Steak & Gravy.
Also good slathered with unsalted butter, sprinkled with salt and coarse ground black pepper.
Consider scraping corn from the cob and sprinkling kernels in a favorite salad or inside a taco.
KEEPS WELL IN FRIDGE
