Corn on the cob is a summer staple, but it can be a pain to cook on the grill. If you don't have a grill, or if you're just looking for an easier way to cook corn on the cob, you can bake it in the oven. Here's how:
Ingredients:
- 4 ears of corn, husked and silked
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Place the ears of corn on a baking sheet.
3. Brush the corn with the melted butter.
4. Sprinkle the corn with the salt and pepper.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and browned.

Here are some tips for baking corn on the cob in the oven:
- To prevent the corn from drying out, you can wrap each ear in foil before baking.
- You can also add other seasonings to the corn, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
- If you want to make the corn even more tender, you can soak it in water for 30 minutes before baking.
- Corn on the cob is a great side dish for any summer meal. It's also a healthy and delicious snack.
