Ingredients

Scale

Corn on the Cob

  • 4 cobs Fresh Corn

Garlic Parmesan Butter Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Toppings & Garnish

  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the corn.
  2. Prepare the Corn: Arrange the fresh corn cobs evenly in a large baking dish or aluminum tray, making sure they’re spaced so the butter mixture can coat them fully.
  3. Make Garlic Butter Mixture: In a bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir thoroughly to blend all flavors.
  4. Coat the Corn: Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the corn cobs, ensuring each piece is generously coated with the flavorful sauce.
  5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle a generous and even layer of freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the coated corn to add a rich, savory crust.
  6. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to lock in moisture and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
  7. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the Parmesan cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for freshness and color, and serve warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • For spicier corn, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter mixture.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melting quality.
  • You can prepare the garlic butter mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Be sure to cover the corn while baking to keep it moist and tender.
  • If you prefer a smokier flavor, try grilling the corn instead of baking and then finishing with the Parmesan cheese topping under a broiler.
