Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F / 200 degrees C / gas mark 6.Place shucked corn on the cob on a square of foil. Brush corn with melted butter and season as desired. Wrap the foil around the corn.Bake for 17-25 minutes or until warm, turning halfway through cooking. Time may vary slightly depending on the size of the corn. Let the corn stand for a few minutes to cool down before unwrapping and serving.
Pro Tips
Remove the husks and silks before placing the corn in the oven. You can skip the foil and place the corn directly on the oven rack if you prefer. The corn kernels will plump slightly and turn bright yellow as the corn cooks. Turning the corn over halfway through cooking will help the corn to heat evenly. Don’t forget to add toppings to your corn to really bring out its sweet flavor. This recipe is perfect for serving a large group. Melt butter in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to brush it onto the corn.
Delicious Variations
Make Mini Corn – After shucking the corn, you can cut the corn cobs in half to make mini corn on the cob. The cooking process and times are the same. Add Seasoning – Butter, salt, and black pepper are standard fares for corn on the cob, but the sky is the limit. Try using garlic butter or garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, or creole seasoning.Add Herbs – Fresh herbs like fresh parsley or dill can alter the flavor of the finished corn. Use Flavored Butter – Unsalted Butter flavored with maple syrup or garlic butter can boost the flavor of the corn. Make it Creamy – Sprinkle corn with parmesan cheese, cotija cheese, sour cream, or mayonnaise to the corn for a delicious flavor. Add Citrus – Give the corn a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or fresh lime juice for a bright, citrusy flavor.
Prep And Storage
Prep Ahead – Shuck the corn ahead of time. Store – Leftover corn can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze – Freezing leftover corn is not recommended as the texture of the corn will become mushy.
