My husband is a corn lover and loves it when I make him this! If you don't want to use butter in the mixture, it still turns out great. Just use enough olive oil to coat it. I use a lot of pepper, too. This corn is super yummy!

This roasted corn with garlic and olive oil is an easy way to prepare fresh corn on the cob when you have guests for dinner. Have the ingredients ready and stick it in the oven at the last minute. Once baked, the corn is tender and slightly caramelizes. Garlic and olive oil make this a savory corn recipe. It's very versatile and can be paired with most meals. We did add an extra touch of butter when serving because you can never have enough butter.

    If you like it a little more roasted, go for 20 minutes. I typically do 15 minutes and it comes out great.
