Pretty good, I bought 7 ears of corn as HEB was having a sale that you get 7 for a buck! I used spray butter and original Lawry’s seasoning salt and they came out great! I did go up to about 35ish minutes though, as others suggested. I think that’s the only change to make to the recipe is just add a bit more time to the roast/bake process.

Do not remove the husk. By leaving the husk on the corner is super sweet

You can just leave the corn in the husks and throw it in the oven. The husk insulates and comes right off after baking. No need for foil. The husk will get very dark and crispy looking, don't worry the corn inside is fine.

Much better than water-logged cobs boiled in water. Do remember to place a baking sheet underneath to catch any butter that may seep through the foil. Thanks for sharing a great technique! :)

I'd recommend keeping them in the oven for at least 35-40 minutes. Open the foil wrap after 20 mins so they catch a little "tan") I buttered them in olive oil and garlic salt. Worked out GREAT. Will not waste bottled water to boil corn ever again.
