Since we have plenty of fresh sweet corn available in our area, we use this recipe often in summer. Parsley, chili powder and cumin accent the corn's just-picked flavor. —Connie Lou Hollister, Lake Odessa, Michigan

Ingredients

  • 8 large ears sweet corn in husks
  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground cumin
