Corn on the cob is an enduring favourite for sunny days, yet it seems there's a superior way to savour this buttery delight. While boiling may be a straightforward approach, it often


leads to the corn losing much of its flavour and nutrients to the water, rendering it less full-bodied and delectable. In stark contrast, Eb Gargano, culinary enthusiast and founder of Easy


Peasy Foodie, has divulged her top method for preparing corn, which involves roasting it in the oven. She remarked: "Love Nando's corn on the cob? Then you are going to love this


easy roasted corn on the cob recipe! It's no secret that I am a huge Nando's fan... and roasted corn on the cob is one of my favourite sides." She adds, "While


Nando's flame grills their version, my version is adapted for normal kitchens... and roasted in the oven - but it's no less tasty!". To heighten the flavour profile further,


simply season with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil, both of which markedly amplify the taste and texture. The application of salt not only enhances the corn's flavoursome


quality but also draws out surface moisture during cooking, intensifying its inherent sweetness, reports the Express. A touch of oil is key for achieving that perfect roast in the oven,


creating a crisp exterior, while the interior remains perfectly succulent. Employing this easy recipe, the true and robust essence of the corn kernels comes to the fore, sidestepping the


dampness often associated with boiled corn. HOW TO MAKE CORN ON THE COB TASTIER INGREDIENTS (FOUR SERVINGS) * Four corn on the cob * One tablespoon of salt * Two tablespoons of olive oil


METHOD Start by heating your oven to 200C or Gas Mark 7, then proceed to bisect each corn cob into two halves, resulting in eight portions. Mix the olive oil and salt in a bowl, then use


your hands to evenly coat each piece of corn with the salty oil mixture. Lay the corn on a non-stick baking tray, ensuring they're spaced out and not touching; you might need to split


them between two smaller trays. Eb remarked: "It's crucial to ensure the cobs are spread out well over the baking sheet - if they are touching each other too much, or piled on top


of each other, they may not cook properly." Simply pop the cobs into the oven for 15 minutes, remembering to check and turn them at the 10-minute mark. Follow this straightforward


recipe and you'll be rewarded with corn on the cob that's delightfully crispy, caramelised, and far tastier than usual.
