Ingredients

• 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob (husked)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
• 1 roll Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Husk the corn, removing all the silk strands, and rinse the ears under cold water.

Step 3

Lay out four sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap an ear of corn.

Step 4

Place each ear of corn on a sheet of foil and spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly over the kernels.

Step 5

Sprinkle the buttered corn evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using) for extra flavor.

Step 6

Wrap each ear of corn tightly in the foil, ensuring no gaps for steam to escape during roasting.

Step 7

Place the wrapped corn directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet for easier handling.

Step 8

Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, turning the corn halfway through for even cooking.

Step 9

Carefully remove the corn from the oven and allow it to cool for 2 minutes before unwrapping (use caution, as the foil will be hot).

Step 10

Serve immediately, and enjoy your simple oven roasted corn on the cob!
