Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Corn
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking dish.
  2. Arrange the mini corn cobs in the prepared baking dish evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  4. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the corn, ensuring they are coated evenly.
  5. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the corn cobs thoroughly.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 5-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. For an extra crispy layer, broil on high for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Allow corn to soak in garlic butter for enhanced flavor. Use foil wisely during baking for moisture retention and to achieve a crispy topping later. Freshly grated Parmesan offers better flavor than pre-grated options.
