Tips for Making Corn on the Cob in the Oven
- We also love to add a dash of cayenne pepper when we make baked corn on the cob. The best way to do that is to place 4 tablespoons of butter in a small dish. Add the desired amount of cayenne pepper and mix it together. Smear butter on it and then continue with the recipe.
- Make your own compound butter to finish it with. Try different flavor combinations.
- Be sure to use unsalted butter. You don't need the extra salt when you add other seasonings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make this recipe using frozen corn? Yes, you can make this recipe starting with frozen. Simply follow the recipe below and substitute frozen for fresh.
There's no need to do anything differently when you make the recipe.
You can also wrap each ear in tin foil if you prefer. You will want to roast them in the oven for about 30 minutes in total. There is no need to turn them if you wrap them in foil.
Do you remove the husks before roasting corn in the oven?
In this recipe, I remove the husks. It makes it easier to apply the flavored butter to it.
But, you can carefully turn back the husks, then apply the flavored butter if you want to keep them on. Finally, close up the husk again and bake.
Or, you can skip the flavored butter and simply roast it with the husks on and apply butter, fresh herbs, and seasonings when you take it out of the oven.

Other options include grated parmesan cheese, Old Bay seasoning, or even ranch seasoning.
How long can I store leftovers?
We don't often have leftovers when we make it this way. But, if you do, you can store leftover oven corn on the cob in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay good for up to 5 days.
