Oven-Roasted Corn on the Cob with Honey Chili Butter

I realize that fresh corn is about to be out of season at the grocery stores, but around here you can still find some fresh corn at the supermarket or at the local farmer's market. I bought a few the other day and decided to try this recipe. If you can't find fresh corn on the cob, I am positive that frozen corn on the cob would be sufficient.

This side dish recipe will go with almost anything else you cook.

Oven-Roasted Corn on the Cob with Honey Chili Butter
Serves 4
Adapted from: http://budgetbytes.blogspot.com/2011/05/oven-roasted-corn-with-honey-chili.html

Ingredients:
4 ears of corn
3 tablespoons light margarine - room temperature
1 tablespoon local honey
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Optional: salt - to taste
Foil

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-Take each piece of corn and de-husk it and remove all the silk. Clean off with water and dry off.
-Wrap each piece of corn on the cob in foil and make sure you completely cover it
-Roast corn on the cob in the oven for 30 minutes
-While corn is roasting, in a small bowl combine chili powder, honey, and margarine and stir together until blended.
-I used an electric mixer to combine the ingredients.
-Remove corn on the cob from oven and remove the foil.
-Place corn on a serving platter and cover each with some of the butter mixture

*Tip: Make sure you set the butter/margarine out so that it is close to room temperature when you go to mix it. It will mix so much better than cold butter/margarine.

Enjoy! :)
