Baked Corn on the Cob With Garlic Herb Butter

**Jubes**'s Note:

Deliciously moist corn baked in the oven and seasoned with garlic and herb butter. You can use just plain butter with salt and pepper if you prefer or any flavoured butter of your choice.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 4 corn cobs, leaves and silks removed
• 60 g butter
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 teaspoon dried herbs
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 pinch sea salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
2. Remove all the husks and silks from the corn cobs.
3. To make the Herb & Garlic Butter- mix all ingredients together is a small mixing bowl.
4. Smear the flavoured butter over the corn cobs. Wrap the corn cobs in aluminium foil and secrely seal.
5. Place the corn cobs on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes.
6. When cooked remove from the oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes before opening the foil to remove cooked corn. The corn will still be very hot-be careful not to burn yourself on the steam.

I made 1 corn cob with butter, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, dill weed and salt and pepper. Wrapped in foil and baked as directed. Great side with a cube steak and fries for dinner. Thanks for posting Jubes! made for I recommend Tag Game.

I really liked the flavor of the butter on this corn. I used garlic powder instead of minced fresh and Italian seasoning as the herb, which went really well with the parmesan-crusted chicken dish I also made. Roasting it foil-wrapped made for easy cooking and clean-up. I need to be honest and say I used probably the lowest-quality corn I've ever encountered. Since my hubby has been in the mood for corn on the cob (even though it's out of season in April in the US), he was determined to find some. And he did... some pre-packaged corn in the produce department. It wasn't the best corn I've ever had (bland and not sweet at all), but I KNOW it was because of the poor quality product used. The butter on it was perfect! I'm still giving this recipe 5 stars, as I still believe it's a winner! I am definitely keeping this recipe on hand for late summer, when corn is actually in season. ;) Poor hubby... He needed to feed his craving!

DH cooked the corn on the grill along with Chicago Beer Burgers by Noo. I used dried parsley, italian seasoning and minced garlic. Since we had 6 ears of corn I added a couple extra pats of butter and eyeballed the herbs. This was the moistest and tastiest corn on the cob we have had in quite awhile! No more cooking corn on the stove top in boiling water! Will be making a lot more corn on the cob this summer! Thank you honey for sharing this recipe. :) Made and reviewed for the Aussie/New Zealand Forums RECIPE SWAP #64 - May 2012.
