Tender and sweet roasted corn on the cob paired with garlic and herb butter is the perfect summer side for any meal!
Ingredients:
-
4 cobs of corn, husks on
-
4 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 clove of garlic, minced (~1 tsp)
-
2 tbsp mixed fresh herbs
-
1/2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
-
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
-
salt and pepper to taste (~1/4 tsp)
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F.2. Remove the outermost layer of husk and snip or cut the tip of husk and silk off each cob.
3. Place the prepared corn directly on the metal rack in the oven. Cook the cobs for 30 minutes, flipping once at the halfway mark.
4. While the corn is cooking, melt the butter in a small pot on the stove. Add the garlic and toast for 30 seconds. Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the fresh herbs, lemon or lime juice, chili pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
5. Peel the husk down on the cobs, using the husk as a handle for holding the corn. Remove the silk strands at the top of each cob. Using a baster, baste each cob with the melted garlic herb butter. Eat while still hot from the oven and enjoy!
