Ingredients
  

For the Corn
  • 4 cobs Fresh Corn Choose sweet, juicy corn for the best flavor; frozen corn works too if thawed and dried.
For the Garlic Butter
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness; substitute with olive oil or plant-based butter for a vegan version.
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced; essential for a robust flavor; garlic powder can work as a substitute (1/8 tsp per clove).
  • 1 tsp Salt Enhances flavor; adjust to your taste preference.
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper Adds mild heat; feel free to tweak to your liking.
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning Introduces a savory herby note that complements the dish beautifully.
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes optional; adds a little heat for those who enjoy a kick.
For Topping
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated; gives a delicious, cheesy finish; try mozzarella or cheddar for different flavors.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley chopped, for garnish; brightens the dish and adds freshness.

Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • aluminum foil
  • Medium Bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Carefully husk the fresh corn, removing both the silk and outer leaves. Cut each cob in half if desired, then arrange them in a large baking dish or aluminum tray.
  3. In a medium bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Mix in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and optional red pepper flakes until combined.
  4. Pour the garlic butter sauce generously over the arranged corn, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese generously over the corn.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  8. Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
