Ingredients

• 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare the corn by removing the husks and silks from each ear of corn. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any remaining silk strands.

Step 3

Tear off four sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to completely wrap around an ear of corn.

Step 4

Place each ear of corn on its own sheet of foil. Drizzle approximately 1 teaspoon of olive oil over each ear, ensuring they are lightly coated.

Step 5

Wrap the foil tightly around each ear of corn to create a sealed packet.

Step 6

Place the foil-wrapped corn on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 7

While the corn is baking, prepare the herbed butter. In a small bowl, add the unsalted butter, chopped fresh parsley, fresh thyme leaves, lemon zest, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 8

Using a fork, mash and combine the ingredients until they are well mixed and the herbs and spices are evenly distributed throughout the butter.

Step 9

After 30 minutes, remove the corn from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before carefully unwrapping it from the foil.

Step 10

Once unwrapped, immediately apply approximately 1 tablespoon of herbed butter to each ear of corn while it is still warm, allowing the butter to melt over the corn.

Step 11

Serve the herbed butter-covered corn on a platter and enjoy it warm as a delicious, low sodium side dish.
