Ingredients
Scale
Corn
- 4 ears corn, husked and carefully cut into 1 1/2-inch sections
Cowboy Butter
- 1 recipe cowboy butter, melted (typically made with butter, garlic, herbs, and spices)
Garnish
- Parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, leaving enough foil on the ends to create a packet.
- Prepare the corn: Place the corn sections onto the lined baking sheet. Brush each piece generously with melted cowboy butter, making sure all sides are coated well.
- Make the packet: Wrap the corn in the aluminum foil, creating a sealed large packet to trap steam while roasting.
- Bake the corn: Bake the foil packet in the preheated oven for 30 minutes to cook the corn through.
- Broil for color: Carefully open the foil and place the corn under the broiler for 10 minutes, rotating halfway to achieve a golden brown finish.
- Final butter brushing: Remove from oven and brush the corn again with any remaining cowboy butter, reheating the butter if needed to keep it melted.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the corn and serve warm for a delicious side dish.
Notes
- For air frying, brush corn sections with melted cowboy butter and place in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes, then brush with more butter and garnish with parsley.
- This recipe can also be adapted for grilling or microwaving corn.
- Make sure to reheat the cowboy butter before brushing if it solidifies.
- Cutting corn into sections allows even cooking and easy serving.
