Oven Roasted Corn On The Cob With The Husks FAQs
1. How do I know if the corn is fully cooked? Since corn on the cob can be eaten raw, don’t stress about the exact cooking time. Once the corn is hot and tender it ready.
2. Should the silks be removed before baking? No, they don’t need to be. The silks will come off easily after cooking. If you prefer, you can peel back the husks, remove the silks and then wrap the husks back around the corn before baking.
3. Can I remove the husks before roasting the corn in the oven? Yes, that is another option. You can make oven roasted foil wrapped corn on the cob like this. Or put the peeled corn in a pan and bake it uncovered at 400˚F for 25-30 minutes.
4. It’s too hot to turn the oven on. Can this be made on the grill instead? Yes! Here’s how to grill corn on the cob with the husks.

Have roasted corn like this for years. I like to soak the ears in salted water. Great for picnics as you can put them in a cooler to keep them warm and when ready to eat, peel back the husk, discard the silk and dip the corn ears in butter as you can hold the corn by the peeled back husk. YUMMY!
