One of the best things about summer is going to farmers’ markets and street fairs. Mounds of fresh local produce, warm nights, and delicious treats are what it’s all about. One of my favorite things is the Roasted Corn booth, that sells delicious sweet corn with a special Mexican flair. Since I need to eat this more than once a week, I’ve brought this recipe home to my oven so my family can enjoy it whenever we want.
Ingredients
4 Ears Sweet Corn (White or Yellow)
1 Tbsp Butter
1 Tbsp Mayonaise
1 Tbsp Grated Parmesan
1 Tsp Chili Powder
Lemon wedges
Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven on 350 degrees
- Clean corn my removing husks and silk. Rinse corn and do a thorough job of removing excess silk. (The shrinking stuff)
- Line a sheet pan with foil. Place corn on pan and cover with foil.
- Roast in the oven for 15 minutes
- Mix butter and mayo together
- Once corn is hot, coat in butter, mayo mixture.
- Sprinkle with Chili Powder, salt and pepper and Parmesan cheese.
- Place under broiler on low until the butter and mayo start to bubble slightly and really adhere to the corn.
- Remove from the oven and serve with a squeeze of lemon.
