• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 3

ingredients

• 3 ears fresh corn, on the cob- husks intact
• 3 -4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons texas chili powder (regular chili powder is fine)
• 2 tablespoons lemon pepper
• aluminum foil (enough to individually wrap each cob in)
• butter, is (optional)

directions

1. Set oven to 350°F.
2. Take the corn and pull the husks back being careful not to remove them.
3. Under cold running water take off the fibers from the corn and rinse the husks and cob well.
4. If you would like you can butter the corn at this time, but it just adds calories, and i think it tastes great without it.
5. Pull the husks back over the cleaned corn so they look as they did before you cleaned them.
6. Wrap each corn in foil and place in the middle of your oven, directly on the rack.
7. After 30 minutes the corn should be roasted and done. let cool.
8. Then all you need to do is slather on enough mayo, chili powder, and lemon pepper to your taste and enjoy.
