I am so glad that fresh corn is finally in season. My daughters love them so much that they keep asking for it since spring. I used to prepare them boiled in water or on grill. Never tried roasting them in the oven with their husks on. When I discovered this Oven Roasted Corn I simply had to give it a try.
Oven roasted corn is so much better than the boiled one. The flavor is much more enhanced and you don’t risk to burn yourself while trying to get them out of the water.
And is just so easy. You don’t have to bother taking the husks off, all the mess is avoided this way. Just put them in the oven and let it do it’s job. After 30-40 minutes you just got the perfect corns ever. The husks create steam and so the corn is cooked entirely, not soggy … not dry .. just PERFECT. From now on, for me there is no other way to cook corn.
You can serve it as it is with just a bit of salt and butter, or with various toppings.
In either way they are just amazing, and I am sure you will love them too.
I am curious about you, what’s your favorite topping for your corn? Amaze me 🙂

Bill likes plain old butter on his corn, but some cheese and spices sounds lovely to me!!
What kind of cheese did you use?
Any type of cheese you love best.. Cheddar works ok.. Parmesan..Mozzarella etc.. I've used what I have in house back then.. a buffalo and cow semi hard cheese
this looks yummy. goona give it a try for sure 🙂
I just wanted to come here and say thank you. I’m a 49y father here and have cooked it many ways over the years, but did a quick Google out of curiosity to see what people are claiming is the best way to cook it. For my son’s first experience with corn I used a slight modification of your recipe and he actually loved it. I loved the zero prep and leaving the husks on as a handle to hold. Brilliant. Probably going to make them this way from now on. At least when there’s an oven nearby. Thanks again. From Texas.
Thank you so much for your kind message, it truly made my day! I’m honored that you chose my recipe for your son’s first experience with corn. I’m so glad he loved it (and that the husk handle came in handy, one of my favorite parts too!). Wishing you many more delicious, easy oven corn moments together. Greetings all the way to Texas!
