A simple recipe for baked corn

Ingredients:

• 4 ears of corn (about 200 g each)
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• Special equipmentkitchen string

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Cut 4 pieces of string, 60 cm long, if using.
2. Remove the husks from the corn, but don't tear them off completely. Bend them back. Remove the strings and discard. Drizzle the cobs with a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Re-wrap the cobs in the husks.
3. Place the cobs directly on the oven rack and roast until the corn is tender and the husks are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
4. If using kitchen twine, fold the leaves back and tie them to form handles. Transfer the cobs, still in their husks, to a serving platter.
