Oven Roasted Corn on the Cob FAQ
Do you need to boil corn before roasting?
Not at all! Oven roasted corn on the cob comes out perfectly cooked, no boiling necessary.

Should you remove the husks for roasted corn on the cob?
For oven roasting, I remove the husks. It makes it easier to apply the flavored butter to the kernels.

But, if you want to keep them on, you can carefully turn back the husks, and apply the flavored butter. Then, close up the husks again and bake.

Or, you can skip the flavored butter and simply roast the cobs plain with the husks on. Then, apply butter, fresh herbs, and seasonings when you take them out of the oven.

Can you cook frozen corn on the cob in the oven?
Yes, you can make this baked corn recipe starting with frozen ears of corn. Simply follow the directions below, substituting frozen for fresh.
