What a great idea! I never thought to use roasted garlic on corn before. The roasting of the garlic mellowed so it did not overpower the flavor of the corn. The roasted garlic paired well with the charring on the corn so I suggest to stay with the non-foil cooking option. This is definitely a recipe I will make again. Thanks, yooper!
