Baked until golden and bubbling, this easy side dish brings a deliciously savory twist to classic corn on the cob, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Corn

  • 8 mini corn on the cobs (or 4 full cobs cut in half)

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Toppings & Garnish

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn: Arrange the mini corn cobs evenly in a large baking dish or aluminum tray, ensuring they are spaced to allow the garlic butter mixture to coat all sides.
  2. Make Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using, creating a rich and aromatic butter sauce.
  3. Coat the Corn: Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over all the corn pieces, turning each cob to thoroughly coat them with the flavorful butter blend.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the coated corn, providing a savory layer that will melt and brown during baking.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the corn to cook through.
  6. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the Parmesan cheese turns golden brown and starts bubbling, creating a delicious crust.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and optionally sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the corn for a fresh, herbaceous finish before serving hot.

Notes

  • You can use full-sized corn on the cob if mini cobs are unavailable; just cut them into halves or thirds to fit your baking dish.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spiciness, or omit for a milder flavor.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute Parmesan and butter with vegan alternatives, though flavor and texture will differ.
  • Serve this dish immediately for the best taste and texture, as the cheese crust is most enjoyable when freshly baked.
  • To add extra flavor, sprinkle some smoked paprika or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
