Roasted Corn on the Cob
I bookmarked a recipe by Tyler Florence for roasting corn on the cob in the oven. I decided to give it a try today while I had corn in my refrigerator and the weather was cold & stormy. Anyone can make this recipe and it will turn out fantastic–it’s seriously so easy. The kitchen smelled awesome while the corn roasted and it turned out super flavorful and crisp-tender. We dressed the corn with butter, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper and it was perfect. This will be my go-to method for corn from now on.
How to Make Roasted Corn on the Cob
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the corn (still inside the husks) directly onto the oven rack. Roast for 30 minutes. Peel down the husks then use them as a handle when eating (I trimmed mine down a bit). Serve with butter, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Enjoy.
Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn on the cob left inside husks
- Butter to taste
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Sounds delicious! I love roasting summer vegetables even though it requires turning on the oven. Totally worth it.
I am assuming that you take the silk off before roasting — correct?
Karen,
No, you don’t. You pop it right into the oven as is. The silk removes very easily after roasting.

Pam,
This is my favorite way to make corn too! No humid kitchen from boiling and absolutely no prep work-just pop in the oven and you are done!!
What an easy and delicious way to prepare corn on the cob! Can’t wait for summer!!
Love corn on the cob! So happy the summer is here.
What a simple way to make corn! I must try it this way! I bet the corn husk gives it even more corn flavor while it’s roasting.
I love corn but have never tried roasting in the oven, thanks for sharing this recipe. Take care diane
Hard to beat fresh corn on the cob slathered with butter – we’ve never tried oven roasting it though.
The fresh corns are delicious and love them on the cob:)
There’s no corn on the cob here yet. Our friend Greg sometimes cooks it in the husk on the grill, but prefers it boiled!
Beautiful looking coen. I like you idea of roasting it in the oven.
Oh yum. I’ve often grilled corn inside the husks on the barbeque, but I’ve never tried roasting them in the oven. I think I need to give this a try as soon as next summer rolls around.
while grilled corn is the ultimate food as far as i’m concerned, roasted corn is delicious too. 🙂
Good to know you can roast corn in the oven! I had no idea!
I have used Tyler’s roasted corn recipe for years. It is so delicious and absolutely foolproof!
