Ingredients
Corn
- 4-6 ears corn, husks and silk removed
Garlic Creole Butter
- 2-3 tablespoons (28-40g) butter
- 1-2 teaspoons (5-10g) Creole seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425℉ (218 ℃) to prepare it for roasting the corn.
- Prepare garlic Creole butter: In a small bowl, mix the butter with Creole seasoning thoroughly until well combined. Set aside for use during corn assembly.
- Wrap corn in foil: Take each ear of corn and slather it generously with the garlic Creole butter. Wrap each ear tightly in aluminum foil and lay them on a baking sheet.
- Roast the corn: Place the baking sheet with the wrapped corn in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning the tray halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting and caramelization.
- Serve: Carefully remove the corn from the oven and let cool for a minute or two. Optionally brush with additional garlic butter for extra flavor before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to remove all husks and silk for easier baking and better flavor absorption.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of Creole seasoning.
- Wrapping in foil helps keep the corn moist and cooks it evenly.
- Turning the baking tray midway ensures the corn roasts uniformly on all sides.
- Use unsalted butter to better control the salt level in the final dish.
