Ingredients
Scale
Corn
- 4 ears corn, husked and cut into 1 1/2-inch sections
Cowboy Butter
- 1 recipe cowboy butter, melted
Garnish
- parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, allowing enough foil at the edges to fold and create a sealed packet.
- Prepare Corn: Arrange the corn sections on the lined baking sheet. Brush each piece thoroughly with the melted cowboy butter, making sure all sides are coated for full flavor.
- Create Foil Packet: Wrap the corn tightly with the aluminum foil to form a sealed packet that will trap steam and cook the corn evenly.
- Bake Corn: Place the foil packet on the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes to tenderize and infuse the corn with the butter flavor.
- Broil for Color: Carefully open the foil packet and place the corn under the broiler. Broil for 10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the corn develops a lovely golden brown and slight char.
- Finish with Butter: Remove the corn from the oven and brush on any remaining melted cowboy butter while the corn is hot to enhance the flavor and richness.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the roasted corn for a fresh, colorful garnish. Serve warm immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Air Fryer Option: Brush corn sections with melted cowboy butter and air fry in a single layer at 400°F for 12 minutes. Brush with more butter and garnish with parsley.
- Grilling and Microwave: This recipe also works well when corn is cooked on the grill or in the microwave for convenience.
- If cowboy butter is not prepared, you can substitute with a mixture of melted butter, garlic, and herbs.
- Be careful when opening the foil packet after baking—it will release hot steam.
- To make the dish gluten-free, ensure cowboy butter ingredients contain no gluten additives.
