Purchasing And Clean Corn

Purchasing Corn — Look for ears of sweet corn with tight, green husks and plump, yellow kernels. Avoid ears with dry or moldy husks, or brown discolored kernels as these are signs of old corn.
Cleaning The Corn — Next, we’ll need to husk and clean the corn. Start by peeling back the husks and removing the silk strands by running your hand up and down the cobs, then rinse the corn under cold water.

Making Garlic Butter

Garlic Butter — To make the garlic butter, simply smash together garlic, Himalayan pink salt, and freshly ground black pepper. I use a mortar and pestle to smash the garlic.

Chefs Tip: Adding salt to the garlic and smashing it in a mortar and pestle brings out the natural oils in the garlic. This also gives the garlic a punchy flavor that complements the corn when roasted.

Once the corn and garlic butter are prepped, we’re ready to move on to the oven roasted corn on the cob. To help the garlic butter stick to the corn, we recommend brushing the corn with the garlic butter before roasting.

Generously brush with the garlic butter mixture, and sprinkle with a little more salt. While saving some of the garlic butter to bast the corn while it is roasting. This also helps prevent the corn from drying out while cooking.

Bring On The Heat How To Roast Corn On The Cob To Perfection

The actual roasting process of garlic butter corn cobs is simple and straightforward.

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). For a convection oven heat to 205°C (400°F).

Roasting The Garlic Buttered Corn

Roasting Corn On The Cob — Line a shallow baking tray with parchment paper. Place the prepared corn on the baking tray.
- Place the corn into the oven and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Until the kernels are tender and slightly caramelized.

Chefs Pro Tip — To ensure even cooking, it’s best to rotate the corn on the baking tray while basting with the extra garlic butter every 10 minutes. The end result should be juicy, tender corn with a crispy, crunchy, and caramelized exterior.

If you’re roasting multiple ears of corn, it’s best to place them in a single layer on the baking tray. Crowding the corn will make it harder for heat to circulate, leading to uneven caramelization and cooking.

Also, the larger the ear of corn, the longer it will take to cook, so you’ll need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. A good rule I like to follow is to allow for about 10 minutes of cooking time per ear of corn.

If you want more caramelized corn cobs leave them in the oven for another 10 minutes or so. When the corn is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 1-2 minutes.
