Oven-Roasted Corn with Herb-Infused Butter

Ingredients

- 4 ears of fresh corn, husked
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Corn
Using a brush, lightly coat each ear of corn with olive oil. This will help with even roasting and adding a subtle crisp texture.

3. Create the Herb Butter Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, finely chopped thyme and parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the herbs and spices are evenly distributed throughout the butter.

4. Season the Corn
Spread the herb-infused butter generously over each ear of corn, ensuring that it is well-coated with the aromatic blend.

5. Wrap and Roast
Individually wrap each buttered ear of corn in aluminum foil, sealing tightly to contain the flavors. Place the wrapped corn directly on the oven rack.

6. Cook the Corn
Roast the corn in the preheated oven for approximately PT30M (30 minutes), turning the corn halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.

7. Finish and Serve
Carefully remove the corn from the oven and let it cool slightly. Unwrap the foil and transfer the corn to a serving platter. Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges for a zesty finish.
