Oven Roasted Corn with Honey Chili Butter
Description
This recipe begins by trimming the tips of fresh corn ears to remove most of the silk and peeling back the thicker outer husks while leaving the thinner inner layers intact. The prepared corn is placed directly on the 350°F oven rack and roasted for 35 minutes. This slow roast softens the kernels and lightly chars the husks, concentrating sweetness and imparting subtle smoky aromas.
Meanwhile, the honey chili butter is prepared by whipping softened butter with honey, chili powder, and salt until smooth and evenly blended. After roasting, the corn is rested briefly, then peeled of remaining husks and silk. The hot corn is served with the chili butter for spreading just before eating, balancing natural sweetness with a mild spicy kick from chili powder.
This preparation brings out the corn’s natural flavor enhanced by the buttery, sweet, and spicy topping, making it suitable as a summertime side dish or accompaniment to grilled meats and vegetables.
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn $1.20, fresh
- 4 Tbsp butter $0.37, room temperature
- 1 Tbsp honey $0.12
- 1/2 tsp chili powder $0.05
- 1/8 tsp salt $0.01
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare the ears of corn by cutting off the very tip of the ear to remove most of the silk, and removing the outer husks (the thicker bright green layers), leaving the inner layers (the thinner lighter green husks).
- Transfer the prepared ears of corn to the fully preheated oven, placing them directly on the oven rack. Roast for 35 minutes.
- While the corn is roasting, prepare the honey chili butter. In a small bowl, combine the butter, chili powder, honey, and salt. Whip the mixture with a fork until smooth and evenly combined.
- After 35 minutes the husks on the corn should be slightly browned and papery in appearance. Carefully remove the corn from the oven using oven mitts or a thick towel. Let them rest for about five minutes, then carefully pull back the husks and remove any remaining silk.
- Serve hot with the bowl of honey butter for smearing over the kernels just before eating.
