roasted chili lime corn on the cob
Author: 
 
Equipment: Baking sheet, aluminum foil, pastry brush.
Ingredients
  • 3 ears fresh corn, shucked and de-silked
  • 3 T. butter, melted (I zapped mine in the microwave for about 30 seconds - watch it carefully)
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Tear off 3 pieces of aluminum foil large enough to wrap a single ear of corn. Lay each ear of corn on a piece of foil. (I like to cut each ear into 3 pieces to make eating them a bit easier.)
  3. Mix together the melted butter, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and a few twists of freshly ground pepper. Brush each ear of corn thoroughly with the butter mixture.
  4. Wrap each ear of corn in the foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 20-25 minutes. Carefully unwrap - watching out for steam trapped inside the foil - and enjoy!
