Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ears corn
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
Seasoning:
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Warm your oven to a toasty 400F, ensuring the perfect roasting environment for your corn.
- Strip each ear of corn completely, meticulously clearing away every strand of silky fiber.
- Take 2 tablespoons of butter and generously coat each corn ear, ensuring total coverage from tip to base.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper across your buttered corn, distributing seasonings evenly.
- Carefully envelop each seasoned ear in a snug aluminum foil wrap, sealing in all the delicious moisture.
- Arrange your foil-wrapped corn on a sturdy baking sheet, positioning them with care.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated 400F oven and roast for exactly 30 minutes, allowing the kernels to become tender and succulent.
- Extract the corn from the oven, gently unwrap each ear, and serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Always choose fresh corn with bright green husks and plump kernels for the best flavor and texture.
- Softened butter spreads more evenly, helping to coat the corn completely and enhance its natural sweetness.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or fresh herbs before wrapping in foil.
- If corn feels dry after roasting, brush with melted butter just before serving to restore moisture and add richness.
