Steps:
- 1. Turn oven to 425 degrees and let preheat. Prepare your corn ears and clean them up. Get out a cookie sheet and your foil.
- 2. Mix together olive oil, garlic, and butter if you wish, in a bowl. Add in pepper, as much as you like.
- 3. Set an ear of corn on a piece of foil on the cookie sheet. Rub the corn with the mixture and roll corn around to get it well coated. Wrap up in foil.
- 4. When all corn is wrapped up, stick it in the oven for at least 15 mins. If you like it a little more roasted, go for 20 mins. I always do 15 and it comes out great.

- Strain the oil into a bowl and let cool, then pour into an airtight container. The oil will keep for at least a month.

ROASTED GARLIC WITH HERBS AND OLIVE OIL
This is a wonderful healthy, tasty spread or sauce depending on how much olive oil you use. You can even use it as a rub placing under the skin of a chicken or turkey. Fresh herbs are of your choice. Spread on bread or toss into pasta adding pasta water and additional olive oil to loosen. I use a mortar and pestle or Molcajete y Tejolote [mohl-kah-HEH-teh ee teh-hoh-LOH-teh in which the grinding process releases the oils, and flavor essence of the ingredients. When done carefully you will produce a product that is more flavorful than a product prepared in a food processor. If you just need to "get the job done", do it in a mini food processor.

MIDNIGHT PASTA WITH ROASTED GARLIC, OLIVE OIL AND CHILE
This recipe is a version of aglio e olio pasta, which is often known as midnight pasta because it can be made quickly with a few pantry staples: garlic, olive oil, red-pepper flakes and pasta. This recipe takes a bit more time because it calls for roasting the garlic first, but doing so adds a complex, mellow flavor to the entire dish. If you're a planner, you could even roast a couple of heads of garlic in advance. (Roasted garlic will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and in the freezer for up to two months.) Add whatever vegetables or proteins look good to you.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut off the top 1/4 inch of the head of garlic to expose the top of the cloves, then place on a piece of foil, cut-side up. Sprinkle exposed cloves with salt, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap the garlic in the foil and roast until soft and golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes.
- When you're ready to make the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Finely chop the parsley leaves. Add pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
- While the pasta cooks, in a large Dutch oven or skillet, heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil over medium heat. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the oil and cook, breaking them up with your spoon, until very fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the red-pepper flakes and a few generous grinds of pepper. Remove the pan from the heat to infuse the oil while the pasta finishes cooking.
- When the pasta's done, heat the garlic oil over medium, then add the cooked pasta, 1/2 cup reserved pasta water and the parsley, and simmer, tossing constantly and adding more pasta water as needed, until the pasta is glossed with sauce.
- Serve with more red-pepper flakes, black pepper and Parmesan.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, sweet corn on the cob. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks.
- Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Be sure to remove all of the silk, as it can be tough and unpleasant to eat.
- Brush the corn with olive oil. This will help the corn to roast evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Season the corn with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as chili powder, paprika, or cumin.
- Roast the corn in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes. Be sure to turn the corn occasionally so that it roasts evenly.
- Serve the corn hot with melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Roasted corn on the cob is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use fresh summer corn and can be served with a variety of dishes.
