Corn in the oven: cooking recipes

Baked corn in the oven is a tasty and easy-to-cook dish. In the article, we will consider several recipes, as well as tell you how to properly prepare this cereal for baking.

Training

Regardless of the method of preparation, whether it is corn baked in the oven or boiled, the cereal must be correctly selected. At the time of purchase, make sure that the grains are translucent and juicy, and the shell is bright green. Shriveled and dry fruits do not interest us.

Before baking, remove the fibers and shell, and then rinse the cobs. Next, the corn is lowered in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. If you are sure that you have got young and absolutely fresh fruits, then you can do without preliminary boiling.

To bake cereal, you need foil. Instead, you can use corn leaves. In one piece of foil, you can put two ears.

During the baking process, periodically turn the corn over so that it does not burn on one side.

The dish is served hot or warm.

Simple recipe

How is corn cooked in the oven? The recipe depends on what result you want to get. Here is the easiest way:

1. Cut the prepared corn in half or in several pieces - depending on the size of the ears. You can just cut the fetus and then break it with your hands.
2. If you use foil, then pre-prepare a few pieces about 20 by 30 centimeters in size. In the center of each of them, place a piece of butter at the rate of about 1 tablespoon per 1 cob. Wrap the corn in foil.
3. If you use your own corn leaves instead of foil, wrap the peeled cobs with leaves, and tie the fruits with one of the leaves or a rope.
4. Place the corn on a baking sheet and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees.

How long the corn will bake in the foil in the oven depends on whether you cooked its ears before or not. It takes an average of 15-30 minutes. Preparedness of cereals can be determined by soft grains.

Gustatory preferences are also important, as in places where the corn comes in contact with the baking sheet, the ears can be browned. This is normal, so if you like well-done grains, then you need more time.

Instead of butter, you can take olive oil, as well as sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard.
