What if you heard that to enjoy delicious corn on the cob you didn't have to boil it? You don't even to have grill it? That's right, friends, you can set it and forget it, just like you do with so many other dishes that you love. You can't walk away from it for hours, of course, but as you'll see in the recipe below, you can place it into the oven for about 35 minutes so you can get to the rest of dinner or just enjoy a cup of coffee.
But that may not even be the best part, which is the sweet honey drizzled on top. Corn on the cob's pure sweetness has been pleasing families for a long time, and when you add honey to that mix, it becomes even sweeter and even more delicious.
