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 and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, ensuring there is enough foil to create a packet to wrap the corn later.
- Prepare Corn: Arrange the cut corn sections on the lined baking sheet. Generously brush the melted cowboy butter over each corn piece, making sure all sides are coated thoroughly.
- Wrap Corn: Carefully wrap the corn in the aluminum foil, forming a sealed packet to lock in moisture during baking.
- Bake: Place the foil packet on the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes to allow the corn to cook evenly.
- Broil: After baking, carefully open the foil packet and switch your oven to broil. Broil the corn for 10 minutes, turning halfway through to achieve a golden brown color on all sides.
- Brush with Butter: Remove the corn from the oven and brush each piece again with the remaining melted cowboy butter, reheating the butter if needed for easier spreading.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the roasted corn sections and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- For air fryer preparation, brush the corn sections with melted cowboy butter and air fry them at 400°F for 12 minutes in a single layer. Brush with additional cowboy butter after cooking and garnish with parsley.
- This recipe also works well using grilled corn or microwave-cooked corn for versatile serving options.
- Make sure to carefully open the foil after baking to avoid steam burns.
- If you prefer extra smoky flavor, briefly char the corn on a grill after broiling.
- Adjust the amount of cowboy butter according to your taste preference for richness and spice level.
