I absolutely love corn on the cob. Information technology's the 1 thing I actually look forwards to when we get to the local farmer's market. Nosotros stand in the long line just thinking well-nigh which toppings to slather on that pipage hot corn as it drips with melted butter. But then they ask you lot pay $4.50…for a unmarried corn on the cob – something that costs $0.33 cent uncooked at the grocery store. So I but knew I had to share my favorite bootleg version that costs way less and tastes a million times better!

The best function about this is that information technology is unbelievably easy to make. Information technology's practically foolproof! Simply simply throw it in the oven, roast it for about 45 min-1 hour in their husks, and so slather on that butter before sprinkling on the rest of the toppings. Easy peasy. And if y'all're not groovy on some of the toppings, this is completely customizable to your personal preferences.
