Guys, it’s already June! And you know we’ve all been waiting for this month for one reason.
The fresh, sweet and juicy summer corn, of course! It’s the most important summer staple.
And that’s why I go to Walmart for all my summer needs. Their produce is locally grown, restocked daily, so 100% freshness is guaranteed.
That way, I can make the best stinking summer corn ever!
Not to mention, this comes together so quickly and easily!
Simply roast your corn while you effortlessly whip up the most irresistible garlic herb butter with parsley, garlic, lemon zest and your favorite herbs.
Side note: You can use fresh or dry herbs – whichever you have on hand!
This also makes for the easiest serving of all time for all those summer get-togethers and barbecues!

Made this last night with fresh Jersey white corn. Simply amazing & won raves! I will say that I am not a fan of grilling in the husk, because I don’t like removing hot husks after cooking. So I husked the corn, slathered with the herby garlic butter, wrapped in foil and grilled. The herb garlic butter melted throughout, and then I had reserved a small amount for anyone who wanted extra as they ate. Damn delicious!
I recently discovered this site…THANK YOU!  I don’t  expect to WIN anything; I only look for delicious, current recipes. And I feel like I hit the motherlode!
Good luck to you; you seem to have blended social media with intelligence and a love for cooking! I look forward to many successful collaborations in the future.
Hello,
Do you remove silk prior to roasting?
Thank you in advance!
Hi Nicole! The husks+silk are kept intact prior to roasting. Hope that helps!
Thank you! My corn didn’t get any of the char, but it was cooked perfectly. This will be my go to cooking method!
Sorry but Walmart was the beginning of the end of small business in this country. I do t support them.Â
It is summertime why turn on the oven use the grill
You can certainly use the grill, of course. However, please be mindful that not everyone has access to a grill. We have a few corn recipes that are made on a grill so we are just mixing things up. Enjoy!
Thank You. I’m so happy you did!
You lost me at Walmart.
Sorry to hear that. It’s a great recipe!
I don’t think you can beat buttered corn. I usually just add butter, salt and pepper, but you have totally tempted me to be more adventurous.
Do it! It’s so yummy!
This corn looks amazing! I need it in my life!

It’s delicious! 🙂
I’m all about oven corn! Looks amazing and I think it should be mandatory that all corn be served with garlic herb butter, no exceptions. Looks great!
Totally agree!
