Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter with 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley and 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro. Mix until evenly blended.
Step 2: Spread the herb butter evenly over the surface of 4 husked ears of fresh corn on the cob.
Step 3: In another small bowl, mix 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp lime zest, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/2 tsp salt to create a zesty seasoning blend.
Step 4: Sprinkle the chili lime seasoning evenly over the buttered corn, rubbing gently to coat all sides.
Step 5: Wrap each ear of corn loosely in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
Step 6: Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the corn is tender and the butter mixture has melted and infused the kernels.
Step 7: Carefully unwrap and serve hot as a flavorful side dish.
