Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Husk the corn, removing all the outer leaves and silks. Rinse each ear under cold water to ensure all silks are removed.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until the spices are fully incorporated into the butter.
Step 4
Place each ear of corn on the prepared baking sheet. Using a basting brush, generously coat each ear with the butter mixture, ensuring even coverage across all sides.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the corn for about 25 minutes, turning the ears every 7-8 minutes to achieve an even golden brown color.
Step 6
After 25 minutes, or once the corn is tender and nicely roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Step 7
Drizzle lemon juice over the roasted corn for an added burst of flavor. Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy!
