There’s something about corn on the cob that just screams summertime and BBQs to me. I cook corn a ton in our house because it’s one of the few vegetables (if you consider it a vegetable) that Zach will actually eat and enjoy. I normally boil it on the stovetop but this past weekend, with it being Memorial Day and the unofficial kick-off to the summer, I decided to switch things up a bit. I even went a little fancy and made an Italian-Inspired Roasted Corn on the Cob.

I really wanted to grill this weekend but there were two major obstacles that prevented this from happening.

Number one: There was a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico that caused some pretty crummy weather here in Florida. I’m already scared to death for this upcoming hurricane season if this is any indication of what we are going to expect. Our horrible experience with Hurricane Irma last year makes me want to become a “Hurricane Bird”. That’s my made-up term that follows the same concept as a snowbird, where our family relocates somewhere else safe for Hurricane Season. Want to see why I’m so scared. Check out our pontoon during Hurricane Irma, here. We were crossing our fingers it didn’t end up in our living room.

And reason number two: Patrick worked all weekend long including Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a really big weekend for the car business so he never has it off. I was thinking he might want to throw some burgers on the grill Monday night when he came home from work but he ended up getting stuck at work a little late. I had to go with Plan B for dinner which meant I was going to have to cook everything inside. No biggie. I made it work!

Do you ever have a taste for something and you just can’t knock it no matter how hard you try? You try to eat other things but you’re never really satisfied until you have what you truly wanted to begin with. That’s the feeling I had last night when I was trying to figure out a way to prepare my corn on the cob. All day long I had the idea of grilling. I wanted grilled corn on the cob so badly and my normal stovetop method just wasn’t going to work. How was I going to fix this?

Here’s what I did instead to mimic that grilled flavor without the actual grill. I roasted the corn on the cob in the oven for about 40 minutes. I placed the corn on the cob in aluminum foil and smothered it with olive oil, garlic, and parmesan cheese. After the 40 minutes, I opened the aluminum foil and turned on my broiler for about 5 minutes to get a good burn on the corn on the cob. I sprinkled the hot corn with a little more grated parmesan cheese and went to town! Not too shabby for Plan B…

So what do I need to make Italian-Inspired Roasted Corn on the Cob?

4 ears of corn, ½ cup olive oil, 2 garlic cloves (minced), ½ cup grated parmesan cheese plus a little extra for garnish

Begin by shucking your corn on the cob (removing the husk and stem) and place them on their own individual pieces of aluminum foil big enough to wrap them up completely.

I laughed about this, but the garlic looks like tiny larva in the saucepan when it hits the hot oil. Be very careful to just keep it on for a minute and not to brown the garlic. Browned garlic is bitter and yucky!

After forty minutes, open up the aluminum foil and set the corn on the cob under the broiler. I let mine go for about 5 minutes but make sure to keep an eye on them.

Italian-Inspired Roasted Corn on the Cob was exactly what I needed to trick myself into thinking I just ate food right off the BBQ.  I can see myself making this easy side dish all summer long. It’s finger-licking good! This is a summer must-have for sure!

    This looks amazing, Tiffany! And just in time for Father’s Day! I’m going to try it this weekend! Who doesn’t love corn on the cob–and this looks delicious! Thank you for sharing!

      Corn on the cob is definitely a summer staple for us. Patrick has a farmer who stops by his job in the summertime and sells the corn by the box. I look forward to getting it every year! So yummy and sweet 🙂

    I tried this recipe on Father’s Day for my family. All I can say is–“Delicious!” Everyone loved it and my sons took seconds. I added a couple of ingredients to the recipe: a bit of melted butter to the olive oil and sea salt and fresh ground pepper. I like the idea of broiling the corn after baking it because being wrapped up in the foil, it loses some of its color–and the broiling seems to bring the color back up again. I’ve barbequed corn in the husks before–but it doesn’t taste as good as this corn does. Another spectacular recipe, Tiffany! And it came right in time for summer! Thank you!

      I’m so happy you and the family enjoyed this recipe, Sharlene! Whenever my family or friends go back for seconds, I feel like it’s a true compliment because I know they actually really liked it and weren’t just being nice to me 😉 I love the idea of adding butter to the olive oil too. I might have to do that next time I make these corn on the cobs. Thanks so much for the comment. <3

Can you spot the pink in this photo?! It’s hard to believe that Valentine’s Day is one month from today. Starting tomorrow, my feed is going to be taken over by hearts, pink, and all things love. For today, I’m just giving you a little tease. I purposely took this picture with my back to my mantle because it’s about to get a Valentine’s Day update and I want it to be a surprise.🥰

Anyone else feeling the itch to decorate for The Day of Love?!?!❤️❤️❤️

“Memories at the lake last a lifetime”...i.e. Like when Zach recently went to put the cover on the boat and his phone fell out of his pocket into the water. Or when Patrick thought he was hitting the brake on his friend’s jet ski and it took off like a 🚀 causing chaos. Or when we almost sank our pontoon in the middle of the lake.🤣🤣🤣
.
Lake life is amazing but isn’t always perfect. Any funny bloopers you have of you or your family at the lake, beach, or even the pool? Our family can’t be the only ones...can we??!!🤔

What’s your favorite day of the week? If I had to pick one I’d say it’s WEDNESDAY. Wednesdays in the Hernandez household are designated as family days...no ifs, ands, or buts about it.😉
.
With Patrick working crazy hours, Wednesdays are actually the only consistent day of the week for the three of us to be together.  We do our best to take advantage of it as much as we can! Sometimes we have big plans, but more often we just hang out doing errands together and maybe grab lunch or dinner at a restaurant. It’s most definitely more about the time spent for us than finding something epic to do each and every Wednesday.❤️
.
Today’s activities included hair cuts for the guys, a comic book run for Zach, lunch, a trip to Aldi’s, and some sunset lake portraits. The perfect day! Swipe if you want to see the “real” Hernandez clan acting like the crazy family we are during our lake portraits!🤪
.
If you don’t do so already, I encourage you to join me in being more intentional with spending time with your family. Pick a day or time that works for everyone and commit to you all just being together. I can assure you it will quickly become your favorite day of the week too!🥰
