The Best Way to Cook Corn on the Cob

Ingredients

• Fresh corn on the cob, whole ears with husks on
• Topping ideas:
• Butter and salt
• Chili-lime: butter, chili powder, lime zest and juice
• Garlic parmesan: garlic butter and grated parmesan
• Mexican street corn style: mayo, crumbled cotija, chili powder, and a squeeze of lime

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
2. Put the whole ears, husks and all, straight on the oven rack. No shucking or soaking needed.
3. Roast for 35 minutes.
4. Let them rest 5 minutes so they're easier to handle.
5. Cut off the stem end and squeeze the ear out of the husk (see my tip).
6. Add your favorite topping and serve.
