How to Make Baked Corn On The Cob With Garlic Herb Butter

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Remove all husks and silks from 4 ears of corn.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. (Adjust herbs and seasoning to your preference).
  4. Generously spread the garlic herb butter over each corn cob, ensuring all sides are coated.
  5. Wrap each corn cob tightly in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet.
  6. Place the foil-wrapped corn cobs on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the corn is tender and heated through.
  8. Carefully remove the corn from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes before opening the foil. The steam will be hot, so be cautious!
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
