This is making my mouth water! I love corn on the cob so thank you for this oven-roasted version! Love the topping ideas you have given
Loved all of your tips. I was waiting to make grilled corn on the cob but we’ve had constant rain. After reading your post I decided to make the corn in the oven. It was delicious and I certainly didn’t miss the thrill of the grill.
This is one of my very favorite ways to make corn. I love that I can make a big batch to enjoy with dinner then to have additional to add to my favorite salads.
Simple corn like this, dressed with butter, salt and pepper is our favorite summer side dish.Done it in the oven is great!
I really love corn, no matter how you cook it! This oven roasted corn on the cob looks really yummy. I’m sure my wife will love to have this, too.
Great idea! Not everyone has a grill and fresh corn is best when it isn’t boiled. I’m sure looking forward to corn season!
Nothing beats fresh corn on the cob. This is such a great way to prepare it. So much better boiling it in a pot.
