If you boil corn, you are making a sad mistake and robbing your corn of flavor. I have come with this recipe to save you. 

Ingredients

 

• All you need is fresh corn, in the husk!

 

Tools

 

• Two options:

 

1. Cutting board and scissors
2. Kitchen scissors 

Step-by-Step

 

• Preheat over to 425.
• Feel for end of corn, and slice off end or cut with scissors.
• Pull of any husk pieces that are dangling and could catch fire in the oven.
• Stack he corn in the oven, one layer thick per shelf.
• Roast at 425 for 30 minutes.
• Take out (with oven mitts and your hands or a set of tongs) and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
• Pull back the husk of the corn and use it as a handle – don’t cut off husks!
• Roll ear of corn in butter (and salt, if you like), and enjoy – typewriter styles or whatever tickles your fancy!

Kudos to Uncle Ken for bringing this recipe to my family's attention!
