Ingredients

6 ears fresh corn, unhusked
1/4 pound butter (1 stick), room temperature
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 lime, zested
1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the corn in its husks directly on the oven rack and roast until the corn is soft when you press on it, 30 to 40 minutes.

While the corn is roasting, combine the butter with the chili powder and lime zest.

Peel down the husks and tie in a knot to use as a handle while eating. Rub the corn with soft butter mixture, and garnish with a lime wedge. (This roasting method produces the sweetest corn I have ever tasted.)

Best Corn Ever!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We are a family of corn connoisseurs, and were blown away by the delicious taste of this corn. Roasting really does make a... difference, and the chili lime butter was a hit even with the young kids. They gobbled it up! This will become our standard method for cooking summer corn!! Tyler, you are the BEST!!!!!Read more

The only thing that makes me sad about this recipe is that its the end of summer and corn in the fresh corn wont be available... for awhile. I LOVED it!!!Read more

WOW!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The corn was absolutely awesome! It was sweet, tender (but not "stick to your teeth" tender) and the chili lime butter was... over the top. When I finished it off with a squeeze of lime.........PHENOMINAL!!! And easy! Just plop it in the oven and leave it alone for 40 minutes. What could be easier? Tyler, you have it a home run yet again! Thanks!!Read more

Smoky Sweetness Spiked with Lime
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the firs time I have roasted corn but it certainly will not be the last. It really brought out the natural sweetness... of the corn. The husks were so easy to remove and tying them in knot made a beautiful presentation. I was concerned that the chili lime butter might be too much but it just added the perfect smokiness to the sweet corn balanced by the spike of lime. I added a sprinkle of sea salt as a final step and they were perfect! My husband who is way into corn (he recently had his father ship us 15 ears of his favorite corn from his hometown) said that it was the best preparation for corn he had ever had. Winner! Note: As another poster mentioned, I thought that 30 minutes was plenty of time in the oven - I may even shorten next time.Read more

Fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these tonight- I will never steam or boil corn again. They tasted amazing, we got to skip husking before hand... (everything comes off very easily after roasting) and they have a built in handle for eating. The chili lime butter was awesome- I used a chipotle chili powder since I am a chipotle addict. Thanks Tyler!Read more
