GARLIC-OREGANO BUTTER
Steps:
- Cream the butter with a fork, integrating all the ingredients, using about 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Taste and add more of any ingredient you deem necessary.
Tips:
- Choose the right corn. Look for ears with tightly packed, plump kernels and fresh, green husks. Avoid ears with dried-out husks or missing kernels.
- Soak the corn. Soaking the corn in water for 30 minutes before roasting helps to keep it moist and tender. You can also add a little sugar or salt to the water for extra flavor.
- Roast the corn at a high temperature. This will help to char the kernels and give them a smoky flavor. Aim for a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
- Keep an eye on the corn. Roasting times can vary depending on the size of the ears and the temperature of your oven. Check the corn every few minutes to make sure it doesn't overcook.
- Serve the corn immediately. Roasted corn is best enjoyed hot off the grill or out of the oven. You can add a variety of toppings, such as butter, salt, pepper, or Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion:
Roasted corn is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. It's a great way to use up fresh summer corn, and it's also a healthy and affordable option. With a few simple tips, you can easily make roasted corn that is tender, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at the table.
