Ingredients

• 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Husk the corn, removing all silk threads, and rinse the ears under cold water to ensure they are clean.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well mixed.

Step 4

Place each ear of corn on a large piece of aluminum foil. Carefully brush the olive oil mixture evenly over each ear of corn.

Step 5

Wrap each corn ear in the foil, ensuring it is sealed well to lock in moisture.

Step 6

Place the wrapped corn ears directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the corn is tender and cooked through.

Step 8

Carefully remove the corn from the oven and let it cool slightly before unwrapping.

Step 9

Optionally garnish with additional fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Perfectly Roasted Corn on the Cob.
