Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob
Grilled corn is delicious and also one of my personal favorite recipes. It can get complicated by taking up room when feeding a crowd too. Use this easy recipe for tender and juicy corn every time.
A no-brainer recipe if you will and everyone loves this recipe.
Why this recipe works
I have experimented many times with this recipe. To have the juiciest corn, wrap each ear with aluminum foil before baking. The corn steams inside the foil and delivers the most tender and juicy results.
In recipe testing, covering just the top of the casserole dish did not deliver as tender results which is why I individually wrap each ear.
My buttah lovers, listen up, herb butter goes on the corn before being wrapped in the foil. The herb butter flavor roasts into the veggie and you are going to love the results.
Expert tips and FAQs
- Uncooked corn can be kept in the fridge for about 2 days. Once cooked, keep in the fridge about 3-4 days, well covered.
- Remove most leaves from the corn and leave in the fridge until ready to cook. For detailed information, this article from Pick Your Own is very helpful
- Once you remove the husks, give the ears a quick rinse.
Variations
- Herb butter is awesome. Chopped herbs like parsley and basil mixed with garlic salt and black pepper. (recipe below).
- Parmesan Cheese and butter.
- Any citrus such as lime, lemon, or orange juice and butter are a great combo.
- Garlic, lemon, and butter, delish.
- Any combo of herbs such as rosemary, thyme, basil, and oregano along with citrus and butter would be awesome.
