Sometimes the best dinner plans don’t work out the way you intend them to go. That’s what happened with I went to grill some fresh corn on the cob to go with our dinner. Turned the grill on to preheat and went back inside to prep the corn. When it was time to grill, I found that we were out of gas!

The answer? Oven roast the sweet corn! I love to roast the corn kernels in the skillet on top of the stove, so the cooking the corn on the cob in the oven was a perfect solution. I could have boiled the corn, but I want the sweetness of the corn to come out along with the roasted flavor.

Easy Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob

This is such an easy way to serve corn, roasted, buttered, and seasoned. I like to use simple salt and pepper but any seasonings you like works! My daughter will use cayenne pepper or a chipotle blend of seasonings. Garlic powder or garlic salt is delicious on the corn, as is taco seasoning. Use what you like or have.

Roasting the corn in the oven is so easy and you really only need to turn the cobs over once during the cooking time, which is about 30 minutes. Simple steps make this recipe a winner.

Do you need to boil the corn before roasting it in the oven?

No boiling before roasting the roast is necessary. The 30 minutes in the oven will have the corn perfectly cooked.

For this recipe, it makes it easier to apply the butter and seasonings if the husks are removed.
