Source: Taste of Home

Great with Mexican Dishes

See Notes below to bake plain corn on the cob.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 c. butter, melted
  • 2 Tbls. lime juice
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons grated lime peel
  • 1 t. chili powder
  • 3/4 t. seasoned pepper
  • 1/4 t. salt
  • 4 medium ears sweet corn, cut into 3-inch pieces (if desired)

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients.

Place corn in a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Brush corn with half the butter mixture.

Cover and bake at 400° for 30 minutes.

Uncover; brush corn with remaining butter mixture.

Bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes or until tender.

NOTE: You can bake corn on the cob plain as well. Leave husks on (it will trap moisture, leaving you with juicy, tender corn). Place in a preheated, 350-degree oven, for 25-30 minutes. Cut off the large end and it slides right out with no silk. Brush with butter and salt to your liking.
