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 (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, leaving enough extra foil on the sides to create a sealed packet around the corn.
- Prepare Corn: Arrange the cut corn sections on the foil-lined baking sheet. Using a brush, generously coat each corn piece on all sides with the melted cowboy butter to ensure rich flavor throughout.
- Create Packet: Carefully wrap the corn with the aluminum foil, forming a large sealed packet that will trap steam and flavor during baking.
- Roast Corn: Place the foil packet on the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the corn is tender and infused with buttery goodness.
- Broil for Finish: After baking, carefully open the foil packet. Switch your oven to broil and place the corn under the broiler for 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate halfway through to evenly achieve a beautiful golden-brown char.
- Final Butter Brush: Remove the corn from the oven and brush each section with any remaining warm cowboy butter to enhance the buttery flavor profile.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the corn for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful cowboy butter roasted corn.
Notes
- Air Fryer Instructions: Brush corn sections with melted cowboy butter, place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 10-12 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Remove, brush with more melted cowboy butter, and garnish with parsley.
- This recipe also works well for grilled corn or corn cooked in the microwave for quick preparation.
