In this easy and simple recipe for mini corn on the cob in oven, I used frozen mini sweet corns (extra sweet mini ears of corn) and they turned out delicious. Mini corn on the cob prepared in the oven is soft, buttery and delicious. This is a very easy and simple recipe of just 4 ingredients with a simple mixture of butter, salt and pepper to flavor the corn on the cobs, but you may also add more flavors as you like.
See my blog post on making perfect boiled corn on the cob using fresh corns here.
You can also use regular fresh corns to make corn on the cob in oven using this method. The mini corn ears I used were extra sweet so if you are using regular corns I recommend adding a spoon of sugar to the mix to make it more sweet if you wish.
This mini corn on the cob in oven is a very kid friendly recipe and it is perfect for kids as it is more easy for them to hold with their hands and they are naturally more sweet and delicious.
I used frozen mini corns but you can also use fresh corns instead of frozen ones. I didn’t defrost the corns before baking, but you may thaw the corns in the microwave prior to baking if you wish. If you thaw or wash (if using fresh corn ears), dry the corn ears with paper towels.
I recommend using the corn on the cob made using the frozen corns to be used soon, as I do not recommend refrigerating it again after baking ( I think it is best to use any frozen foods immediately after cooking).
So here is how you can make this mini corn on the cob in the oven following this easy recipe for corn on the cob in oven using frozen mini sweet corn ears.
How To Make Mini Corn On The Cob In Oven Using Frozen Mini Corn Ears?
We need the following ingredients for the recipe.
6 frozen mini corn ears (you may use fresh corn ears as well)
1/4 teaspoon salt adjust based on your preference
2 tablespoons butter softened
2 teaspoons black pepper powder optional
Steps To Follow (The Process)
Preheat oven to 450 degree Fahrenheit. In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, salt and black pepper.
Line a baking sheet and arrange 6 pieces of aluminium foil ( to wrap the corns).
Place each mini corn in the separate foils and brush generously with the butter mixture and wrap the corn ears inside the foils(make sure to arrange the wrapped foils in a single layer in the baking sheet).
Bake for about 30 minutes in the oven. Oven temperatures can slightly vary, so you may bake for extra few minutes like another five more minutes if needed but try baking only for thirty minutes first since we do not want to over bake the corn (if using fresh corn ears, you may also need to reduce a couple of minutes of baking).
Once you transfer the baked corns from the oven, let it sit there for few more minutes wrapped in the foil for best results!

If the frozen corns were not defrosted earlier (I didn't defrost the corn ears, but you may thaw it if its easier for you), the butter will solidify faster, but it is perfectly fine. Make sure to brush all the sides of the corn with the butter mixture. (If you are using fresh corn ears, wash the corn ears and dry using a paper towel prior to adding the butter mixture).
- Now gently wrap the corn ears inside the foils and arrange the wrapped foils in a single layer in the baking sheet.
- Bake for about 30 minutes by then the corns will be nicely baked in the oven. Oven temperatures can slightly vary, so you may bake for extra few minutes like another five more minutes if needed but try baking only for thirty minutes first since we do not want to over bake the corn (if using fresh corn ears, you may also need to reduce a couple of minutes of baking).

- While the corn is still warm, remove the foil wrap and enjoy the warn mini corn on the cob for a delicious side for lunch or dinner or enjoy as a snack!
