Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup fresh oregano leaves, plus 8 sprigs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 ears corn (about 2 1/2 pounds)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place butter on a cutting board and sprinkle with oregano leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Chopwith a sharp knife until butter is smooth and the oregano and seasonings are fully incorporated. Transfer to a small dish and set aside.
  • Trim stems and discard tough outer husks from corncobs. Peel back remaining husks, being careful not to detach them from the corn. Discard corn silk.
  • Use a pastry brush to spread the herb butter evenly over the kernels and season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place 2 sprigs of oregano on each ear of corn and pull husksback up to enclose corn and herbs. Wrap kitchen string around the tip of the ear and tie.
  • Place corn on a baking sheet and roast, turning once, until corn is fragrant and tender, about 25 minutes. Remove string. Pull back the husks and tie them in a knot, if desired. Season to taste and serve.
