- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Husk the corn by removing the outer leaves and silky threads. Rinse under cold water to clean any remaining silk.
Step 3
Pat the corn dry with a paper towel.
Step 4
Place the corn on a large sheet of aluminum foil, ensuring each ear is individually positioned to be wrapped.
Step 5
Drizzle ½ tablespoon of olive oil over each ear of corn and use your hands or a brush to coat them evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle each ear with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust the amount of seasoning to suit your taste.
Step 7
Wrap each ear of corn tightly in aluminum foil to form a sealed packet.
Step 8
Place the foil-wrapped corn on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack.
Step 9
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning the packets occasionally for even roasting.
Step 10
Carefully remove the corn from the oven, allowing it to cool slightly before unwrapping the foil.
Step 11
Once the corn is unwrapped, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot.
Step 12
Enjoy your sugar-free roasted corn as a side dish or on its own!
