Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn, husked and cleaned

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped for garnish (optional)

Lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

    Prepare the Corn: Husk the corn and remove all silks. Trim the ends if necessary for an even presentation.

      Make the Honey Butter Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

        Coat the Corn: Place the corn on the prepared baking sheet. Using a brush or your hands, generously spread the honey butter mixture over each ear of corn, ensuring they are well coated.

          Wrap and Roast: If you prefer a steaming effect, wrap each ear of corn in aluminum foil, creating a sealed packet, which helps keep moisture in. If you like a bit of char, leave them unwrapped.

            Roast the Corn: Place the corn (wrapped or unwrapped) in the preheated oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking. If unwrapped, keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

              Serve: Once done, remove the corn from the oven and carefully unwrap if wrapped. Brush any remaining honey butter on top for extra flavor. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired and serve with lime wedges for a fresh squeeze of brightness.

                Enjoy: Dig into your sweet, buttery, and slightly smoky corn on the cob—perfect for summer gatherings, barbecues, or simply a delightful side dish!
