Ingredients
4earsfresh corn on the cobwith the husks and silks intact.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is preheating, you can peel off just the outer layers of the corn husks if any are dirty, leaving the rest of the husks on including the silks. Then rinse the corn.
Place the rinsed ears of corn onto a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack about 1 inch apart. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until it is cooked to your liking. To test for doneness, carefully remove one of the ears of corn from the oven with oven mitts and pull back a few of the husks. The kernels should be soft, shiny, and tender.
Once the corn is fully cooked, remove the corn from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes, or until it is cool enough to handle. You can also use a kitchen towel to handle them. Peel down the husks and remove the silks, the silks will come off easily after roasting. You can use the pulled-back husk as a handle.
Serve the roasted corn on the cob with butter and salt or the toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
Notes
I made 4 ears of corn but you can actually cook as many ears of corn that will fit on the rack or your baking sheet.
