Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Carefully peel back the husks of the corn without removing them entirely. Remove the silk strands and fold the husks back into place.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Step 4
Using a brush, lightly coat the corn with the olive oil mixture, making sure to get under the husks as well.
Step 5
Wrap each ear of corn individually in aluminum foil, keeping the husks as intact as possible for extra flavor.
Step 6
Place the wrapped corn directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, turning halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
Once done, remove the corn from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil. Be cautious of the steam.
Step 8
Brush each ear with lemon juice and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Enjoy your heart-healthy roasted corn as a delicious side dish or snack!
