roasted corn recipes
this most amazing oven roasted corn is outrageous! It’s almost hard to believe because it is so ridiculously simple to make, as well! Hot out of the oven, you must top it off with some butter, salt and pepper.
HOW TO CHOOSE GOOD CORN ON THE COB WITHOUT PEEKING?
Freshly harvested corn tends to be the sweeter that some days-old ones. Because once it is harvested, the sugar in it starts to turn to starch. So choose the ones with the husk tightly hugging the cob and have nice green color.
Feel the kernel through the husk. What you are looking for are swollen and full kernels, not hollow.
Inspect the tassels (hairs), they should be brown and sticky to the touch. Old corn will have black or dry tassel.
Take a small peek at the inside of the tip of the husk and make sure they are almost filled out. Three-quarter of an inch of undeveloped kernel at the tip usually means softer kernel. Too-developed corn might have a harder skin.

Now if you are not able to cook your fresh corns ASAP, it will be ok to store them in the fridge for up to 4-6 days. Keep the husk intact as this will keep the corn moist but don’t store them packed in a bag. Use a paper bag or newspaper to wrap them with. The cool temperature will slow than the starch production and will keep them sweet longer.
