I was making dinner last night and was about to clean the corn on the cob to prepare it for boiling. It suddenly occured to me that, since I already had something baking in the oven, maybe you can roast the corn in the oven as well.

I did a quick search and found several people talking about just that. Yes you can EASILY roast corn on the cob in the oven. Here’s how -

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

Leave the cobs as they are in the full husks. Place them in a baking pan and pop in the oven. Bake for about 30-35 minutes (my oven needed 35). Perfection!

Of course the husks and all the silk come off really easily once they are cooked, so opening them up and cleaning them is easy. Just watch that you don’t burn your fingers on the hot cobs.

Anyway, just thought I would share my “find”.

You can grill corn on the cob on the barbecue as well of course. Our instructions for that can be found on the main site. Look here for that recipe.
