    Recipe For Oven Roasted Corn On The Cob With The Husks

    Wondering how long to cook corn on the cob in the oven? In this post, we will cover that and share additional tips and tricks for making the perfect corn on the cob!

    Oven roasted corn on the cob with the husks on the oven racks

    Step One: Place on Rack

    Place the corn on the cob on the rack in a preheated oven at 400°F for 30 minutes.

    With this corn on the cob oven recipe, the husks and the silks come off easily! You can peel it before serving or allow everyone to peel their own corn.

    Oven Roasted Corn On The Cob With The Husks FAQs

    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 is ready. If you want to test it, pierce it with a fork to see if it is tender.

    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.

    Can I remove the husks before roasting the corn in the oven?

    Yes, that is another option. Another way of roasting corn is to wrap it in aluminum foil like this. Or put the peeled corn on a baking sheet and bake it uncovered at 400° for 25-30 minutes.

    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.

    Other Ways To Make It

    Garlic Butter Corn

    You can add garlic butter when you roast corn on the cob in the oven for a delicious variation! The flavor soaks into the corn while roasting.

    • Mix together five tablespoons of softened butter and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder (or one clove of minced garlic).
    • Peel back the husks without removing them and clean off the silks. Spread one tablespoon of the garlic butter over each corn cob. Put the husks back over the corn.
    • Then, roast the corn in the oven as directed in the recipe but place a pan under the corn to keep the butter from spilling out.

    Spicy Corn On the Cob

    Another option is to make spicy corn on the cob in the oven! This is a great way to flavor corn for making Mexican street corn.

    • Combine five tablespoons of softened butter, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
    • Peel back the husks but don’t remove them. Clean off the silks and spread the seasoned butter over the corn cobs. Then, replace the husks.
    • Follow the recipe as directed to roast the corn but place a pan under the corn to keep the butter from getting in the oven.

    Honey Corn On the Cob

    On the complete opposite side of things, you can make sweet, honey corn on the cob!

    • Put five tablespoons of softened butter and two tablespoons of honey into a small bowl and stir until combined.
    • Pull back the husks without removing them and discard the silks. Spread the honey butter over the corn and then replace the husks.
    • Then, follow our roasted corn recipe but place a pan under the corn to prevent the honey butter from leaking out.

      Cut off the end that does not have silk. Make sure to cut above the curve. Remove corn and using a mitt or dish towel squeeze the silk end. Corn slips out the cut end and they’re will be no silks to remove. Comes out completely clean.

      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!
