Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the corn on a large baking sheet. Coat each ear of corn with softened butter and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the corn at 400°F for 20 minutes. For the last 2 minutes of roasting, turn on the broiler to high, monitoring closely to prevent burning. Rotate the corn until all sides are charred.
Remove the corn from the oven. Generously spread the cilantro lime crema over the roasted corn and garnish with your chosen toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding lime zest to the cilantro lime crema.
Make sure to rotate the corn during the broiling step to achieve even charring.
This dish pairs well with grilled meats for a complete meal.
