Now I know your probably saying, “What? Why roast it in the oven when I’ve got a grill outside?” Well, my answer would be, “Maybe you need more room, or to try something different.” Only if you asked, of course. This really is good and I hope you give it a try.
8-10 ears corn, including husks
Seasoned Butter – see below
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Pull back the husks, but leaving them attached to the stem end. Remove the silk.
Spread the corn kernels generously (though you may still have some left over) with the Seasoned Butter. Pull the husks around the corn and tie a string snugly around the ear, close to the opened end or just pull them closed as best you can.
Lay the corn in a large roasting pan and bake for 40 -50 minutes. Remove the strings and remove the husks and serve.
Seasoned Butter – Combine well
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened
2 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1-1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
Please feel free to substitute whatever herbs or spices your family prefers. Sometimes adding a tsp of dried tarragon or seasoned salt is great, too.
