Delicious, oven roasted corn on the cob is a staple for the Spring and Summer months, and the best part is delicious and fresh veggies as side dishes, but this recipe is perfect for any month because all you need to do is bake it in your oven!
You can usually buy corn on the cob year round at the grocery store, but it is officially in season from about June-September so the freshest and yummiest is around that time. What is better than adding fresh corn on your 4th of July BBQ menu?
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Create foil ‘pouches’ large enough to fit an ear of corn, and then spread about 1 tbsp of butter directly onto each ear of corn.

- Taco: Mix butter and taco seasoning to taste.
- Garlic Herb: Add chopped garlic, parsley, pepper and rosemary to butter.
- Greek: Add lemon zest, oregano, paprika, and pepper to butter.
- Chili Lime: Add lime zest, lime juice, paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder. Add red pepper flakes if you like it spicy!
Wrap the ears of corn tightly, and place in the oven. After about 10 minutes, open up the packets, and turn the corn on its reverse side (I like to make sure I’m rolling it in the melted butter as I’m turning it). Reseal the packet and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until you reach your desired level of ‘doneness’.
The end result is perfectly tender, buttery corn on the cob!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.

I have taken every one I followed and now just have you ladies on my Pinterest. You gals make down to earth recipes that I can follow and enjoy. Thanks and keep up the good work. I am going to try this corn in the oven tonight. It is not the greatest corn as the farmers up here in Canada don’t start selling until August but Walmart had a pack of 4 so I am going to try.
Thanks, Catherine G
Hi! Love this simple recipe! Do I reseal the foil packets for the last 10-15 minutes or leave them open? Thank you!
Hi Joanne! Yes, reseal the packets. I will clarify on the recipe, thank you for pointing that out. Hope you enjoy!
Perfect. Thank you for responding so quickly! I am making this tonight. 😋
