How to Make Baked Corn On The Cob

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Select 4-6 ears of fresh corn in the husk.
  3. If the husks are particularly dry, soak the corn in a large bowl of water for 15-20 minutes to rehydrate. This will prevent burning during baking.
  4. Place the corn directly on the oven rack.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  6. Carefully remove the corn from the oven using oven mitts. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
  7. Gently peel back the husk layers, leaving them attached at the base to create a natural handle. Enjoy immediately!
  8. For extra flavor, brush the corn with melted butter or your favorite seasoning before serving.
