Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob (fresh)
- 0.25 cups clarified butter (ghee)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the clarified butter, fresh parsley, fresh thyme, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined to create the herbed butter.
Step 3
Peel back the corn husks gently without removing them and remove all silk from the corn. Once cleaned, smooth the husks back into place around each ear.
Step 4
Place each ear of corn on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap the entire cob.
Step 5
Using a brush or spoon, generously coat each ear of corn with the herbed butter, making sure it covers the kernels evenly.
Step 6
Wrap the foil tightly around each ear to ensure it is sealed completely.
Step 7
Place the wrapped corn on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.
Step 8
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until the corn is tender and the flavors have melded.
Step 9
Once done, carefully unwrap the corn from the foil (caution: hot steam) and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 10
Serve hot, optionally garnished with additional fresh herbs, and enjoy!
