Serves 4 | Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 30+ min | Total: ~40 min

Ingredients

• 4 ears of corn, husks removed
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• Chopped fresh cilantro
• Juice of 1 or 2 limes based on your acidity level

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the herb chili lime sauce
   In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, garlic powder, chili flakes, oregano, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, and fresh lime juice. Stir until well combined.
3. Brush the corn
   Place the corn on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush each cob generously with the prepared sauce, coating all sides.
4. Cover and bake
   Wrap the corn in foil or cover the baking sheet with another sheet of foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or more, until the corn is tender and infused with flavor.
5. Serve hot
   Carefully unwrap the corn and serve immediately. For extra brightness, squeeze more fresh lime juice over the top before serving.

Chef’s Notes

• Grill Option: You can grill the corn instead for a smokier flavor. Just brush with sauce and turn frequently.
• Extra Spice: Want more heat? Add an extra pinch of red chili flakes or a dash of cayenne.
• Pair It With: This makes a perfect side for grilled meats, tacos, or summer BBQ spreads.
