- Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Oven Roasted Corn: Corn with husks and silk removed, butter, garlic salt, black pepper, onion power and chopped fresh Italian parsley.

Little light on the spices?? Luv your blog though!!
If you want to spice this up go for it! You can sprinkle it with grated Parmesan cheese, add chili or Cajun spices and more, the sky is truly the limit. Spice is purely subjective and this version will please the larger majority of people in my opinion.
