The Most Amazing Oven Roasted Corn
Another fun way to top off this corn is by turning it into Mexican street corn! You can smother it in cojita cheese while it is hot out of the oven with some lime juice! You can also drizzle on a butter mixture with some chili lime dressing as a garnish. Chop up your favorite herbs like cilantro or chives and there you have one amazing cob of corn!
I hope your family loves this oven roasted corn as much as we do. Using nonstick foil on your pan also makes for a nice, easy clean up. Perfect after a long day of work! If you try this, let me know your thoughts! I can’t wait to hear! Please tag me in your pictures on Pinterest or Instagram.

Just look at that delicious pat of butter melting into the corn! Mmmm! That’s what I call irresistible!
Jennifer says
I do this on a grill…only I rub with olive oil and salt/pepper. My grill is not currently working!! I will have to try this because I was panicked a bit about how I was going to have my roasted seasoned corn w/out my grill!!!
Ray P says
Made last night and only put on mayo and it was great ;cooked on gas grill with lid closed at 425 degrees.

awesome!!!
Latrice says
Can you use frozen corn or is fresh best?
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Fresh is best!
Rebecca says
I use mayp with a few shakes of chill powder and paprika. Yummy!
Trizz says
Sounds good too!
Christine Winter says
I have done this!! I added red pepper flakes and on half of the ears parmesan cheese. Some of my kids like it with, some without.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Yum!!
Lauren says
Olive oil is a great idea! Why didn’t I think of that. Lol. Think I’ll mix it w a little Ghee for flavor. Thanks
Joan says
You saved our graduation party!! What a hit was our fabulous baked corn. Thank you!!

yay
Gloria Richards says
Try sprinkling a little cumin and chili powder. When it’s done, add crumbled feta. YUMMY!
Sue Bogart says
Love the corn with chili powder. Try adding mayo to the corn….Ohhhh my delicious
Christina Wilson says
We also do this on the bbq. We add onion and garlic powder as well.
Helaine Ferebee says
I do this on the bbq & I use a little butter, some lime zest, the seasoning used for carne asada sprinkled and pepper. Once finished, I add the lime juice from the zested lime, melted butter & a little parmesan cheese. Delicious!!
Kay says
Try spreading your corn with mayonnaise (I’m in the South, so Duke’s is standard in my house) and sprinkle with hot pepper flakes. It sounds strange, but it’s unbelievably delicious!
KATHEE ALLEN says
This is like using mayo to make grilled cheese sammies…. tastes the same as butter… will not burn..
Lenora Fitzsimonds says
Really!! the mayo improves the flavor that much? I will have to try it!!
lori theriot says
Try putting mayo on the corn cobs, season them and then roll in parmesan cheese. oven roast and you have a treat.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Mmmmm
Angelita Seetal says
Omg..yess..this is how i make my corn on the cob all the time..my family loves it !
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Awesome!!!
Deb says
I have to admit, I’ve never heard of putting mayo on corn! I must be living in a bubble. I’ll say I’m going to try it though. Deb in Ohio
Alberta says
Do you use the mayo after you bake it?
Granny-Guru says
We’re used to doing it on the grill, but I like the idea of being able to do it in the oven.
Stephen says
You can do this on the grill with the husks on just soak the whole corn cob in salt water for as hour before hand and put on the grill and when ready to eat just take off the husk mate due to rotate on the grill frequently our husk will burn.
Allyson Hong says
We grill it and use garlic salt.
Samantha Benn-Duke says
I love it grilled but don’t like starting up the grill just for corn. This would be a great recipe to use for grilled corn that I cut off the cob and mix with avocado, cucumber, jicama, cilantro, and lime juice.
Pat says
You can use a toaster oven to avoid starting up the grill just for corn.
DANIELLE says
Sounds delish, Samantha!
Blue Skies Plus LLC says
We grill in the husk… pull down husk, wrap in bacon, pull husk back up. This oven idea would be great with butter and dry ranch seasoning.
donnandean says
To Blue Skies, the bacon idea sounds interesting. Do you first soak the corn with the husk in water and for how long? Then peel back the husk and wrap the bacon? Do you use one strip of bacon per cob? Also, are you adding any butter or is the grease from the bacon enough for the flavor? Also, doing it with the bacon could you do it in the oven or just on the grill?
Rodney Grantham says
I love grilled corn. But for everyday quick corn, the microwave is amazing. Stumbled on a youtube video. 6 minutes per ear (I have used this formula for 2-6 ears and it worked) on high. Leave corn in the husk. Do not remove.
When done, cut at the base right above the little pokey part. Serrated knife works best. Then grasp at other end with a hot matt and shake out the corn. Takes 2-4 shakes and it just pops right out. No strings left on it even.
Delicious flavor.

Cindy Blair says
Microwaving for a few minutes makes it amazingly easy to husk! The silk almost drops off. I put 3 ears in for 5 minutes and let it cool just enough to handle. Then you can prepare it any way you want. Oven roasted is really amazing!! My granddaughter’s friend said, “This is DELICIOUS!! And I don’t even like corn!!” LOL
Jessica Bartram says
Do I need to soak the corn in water for an hour or so before I put it in the oven? Or can I just buy the frozen corn on the cob and use that.
Miranda says
I’ve done this with frozen corn. I just used a glass dish that had a lid to help it thaw quickly and then begin cooking.
DANIELLE says
I have only made this with fresh corn and did not need to soak.
Rants and Raves says
Love doing this! I put fresh dill sprigs on top and spray a little olive oil on top as well.
Jennifer @Making Our Life Matter says
That looks like “Aww Shucks” corn. I wanted to make it, but didn’t know how! Thanks! 🙂
danielle says
ENJOY!!!
Cristin says
Try SOUR CREAM on your buttered, salted and peppered corn… Just soooo YUMMY
danielle says
Wowm that’s different! I will trust you and try it!
Scott says
When we were out on a missions trip in Mexico we tried out a different set of toppings/seasonings.
Naturally there’s no refrigeration where we were.
They put some mayonnaise on the corn, coated it with the crumbled Mexican white cheese, and then sprinkled it with a little chili powder. Sounds so un-American yet is good. Since then our youngest daughter (now 18) has to have it that way (except substituting Romano or Parmesan cheese).
danielle says
Awesome!!!
Ethal Frida says
This is a must-have technique. However, getting corn with mayo, cheese, butter and chile is an everyday thing in southern California. Such a delicious, indulgent habit …
Sheila says
I use a little season salt on mine along with the butter, salt, and pepper. Delicious!
Jerry says
I user butter and old bat seasoning. Maryland style
Deborah Frazier says
I love corn anyway I can get it. I’ve had it on the grill, deep fried, boiled, cut off the cob pan fry w/bacon, sometimes I add milk and little flour to make cream corn. My fav is Silver Queen Corn (white). always S&P to taste. First time to the site, I will be back. I love cooking always open to ways of serving.
Denise says
Made this just now for dinner, and it was so good, I already sent the link to everyone in my family. Great recipe with perfect results!
danielle says
so glad!!!
cindy says
Omg,omg omg………………who needs to put on the grill!!! Delicious…………….the only thing I tweeked was I sprinkled a dash of cayenne!!!!!!! It had a nice little hint of a kick 🙂
THANK YOU AGAIN
danielle says
awesome!!!!!!!!!
Annette says
I tried this is was really good. The 2nd time I did it I added a little water & butter to the bottom of my pan & covered the cobs for the 1st 15 min. with a piece of parchment paper. After that I took the paper off added a little seasoning & rotated the cobs about every 7-8 min in the butter on bottom of pan! It was REALLY good!
Linda says
Peanut butter and hot sauce yummy
Chelesia Bonham says
Just tried this — SO GOOD!!! And it sure beats boiled corn; loses all the flavor in the boil. Will always make it the roasted way.
Chelsea says
Could you do frozen corn on the cob
danielle says
I am not sure but I’d be curious too! If you try it, let me know!
Sue says
Going to try corn… Sounds great… Would love to get more recipes … Thank U…
Joan says
Can you modify it for frozen corn, for the off season?
Marty says
What is a jelly pan? I know right? Just not sure. 🙂
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Just a cookie sheet that has rimmed edges so the corn/butter doesn’t roll off the side. 🙂
lee kennedy says
Try using Old BAY seasoning.
Ronda says
Roasted or grilled corn is also good with a few shakes of Tony’s Creole Seasoning!!
Correen says
I’m gonna sooooo do this…the BBQ method has been in my brain for roasted corn – thanks for the inspiration to use my oven (too :).

I’ve done this on the grill but never thought about doing it in the oven. I will try this, we are rained out and do not want to boil corn.
sonia says
Sounds good, try using chilli powder, mayo, butter and Parmesan cheese with lots of lemon pepper.yum!
Pam says
This sounds delicious! I will give it a try this coming weekend! I am a little disappointed in all the remarks about how to “do it better”. I would love to hear from those who have actually tried this EXACT recipe and method.
Thank you, Danielle!

It’s gonna happen on a recipe page, I tend to feel the same as you sometimes, but try to embrace it and learn new things!
DR says
Yummy! I just tried this and my family loved it!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
yay!!!
Cindy says
If you make this recipe on the grill do you still use the baking sheet underneath or place seasoned corn directly on the grill grates?
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
I never grill-have only made it in the oven, sorry
Rhona says
I’m going to try this, sounds simple but delicious which is great.My favourite corn at the moment is simply microwave it then smother it in butter mixed with fresh chopped chilli,coriander,lime juice & crushed garlic,salt &a black pepper.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Hope u love it!
Sherlock says
Mine were dried out. It was simply too much time in the oven. 🙁
Elizabeth says
It’s good sprinkled with lemon pepper and roasted

Aww yiss. Just had some delish corn on the cob and used this recipe.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Yay!
Bridgette says
This sounds wonderful. However, I learned of a very simple way through Tyler Florence. And I’ve cooked my corn this way ever since. Take the corn as is from the market, I just trim the extra silk coming off the tops with scissors. Then place directly into a preheated 350℉ oven for 30 min. They come out perfect every time. Either way corn is addicting! Thanks for your recipe. I will try it next time!
carolyn rossC says
You remind me of the magazine Taste of Home,from whom I’ve collected dozens of recipes. I’ve never made roasted corn before,and I’m eager to try it. My mom made it with barbequed chicken,damn,was it good!
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
hahaha thank u!!!
bugs says
I was a sceptic. I thought roasting corn in the oven without the husks was a ….I don’t know …mistake? It turned out great, thanks! And that’s coming from a person that is Milwaukee Wisconsin, we love our corn on the cob and brats!
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Aww thanks for your honest review!
Susan says
Thanks for the baked corn recipe. Thank you for being a teacher. I come from a lineage of teachers. I had a teaching certificate and decided to go into corporate America. My daughter is a high school math teacher and loves it. I was a math and an education major. I had a computer science minor and decided I wanted to be a computer engineer instead. It was back in the dark ages when there were very few females in the industry. Now that I am retired, I wish I were physically able to substitute. Again, thanks for giving to our future generation.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Thanks so much!!!!!
Pat says
This way is just so delish, I make my corn this way now all the time.
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
awesome
Carol says
Yummy! Make sure it is ORGANIC or it is GMO. I also like when you grill the corn with husks on. Spread the husks away from the corn being careful not to detach them and then pull out the threads and put in Butter and salt and pepper then close them up and wrap in foil…grill until done. Yummy too!
Thanks for sharing this!
Willa Upham says
I have been cooking my ears of corn for years in the oven ! BUT, I like to put it under the broiler. Salt, pepper and butter it and put them in a pan under the broiler. Turn about 3 times, (I like to get a little brown on it) and YUMMY, the best corn on the planet !!! Everyone I have fed it to loves it.

Hi! My name is Jessica and I am starting up a meal planning blog. This blog will be compiled throughout all of 2017 and will launch in 2018. My purpose will be to help families learn to meal plan by giving convenient, easy, and inexpensive plans, already laid out for each day. This will not be a recipe blog because to be honest, I’m not that good of a cook. Lol. I just see things I like and can put them in meals well.
Often I have made your corn on the cob recipe and it is absolutely stellar! I was wondering if I could have permission to include this in my blog, along with 1 photo? You would have full credit, and I would only post a link to the recipe, which would take them directly to your site. I would not suggest any changes as I felt it was absolutely perfect as is.
Thank you for your consideration,
Jessica

Thank you for this recipe, I’ve tried many variations on the charcoal grill and even the smoker, but never indoors… Can’t wait to try it. My Granddad, who always had a garden, with long, rows of just about everything you can imagine always called them “roasting ears”, LOL, I grew up thinking that was one word. Good memories. Roastingears :~)
