Ingredients

• 4 ears of corn (husked and cleaned)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your oven is at the perfect temperature to bake the corn evenly.

2. Prepare the Baking Dish
   Pour the olive oil into a 13×9 inch glass baking dish. Add the minced garlic to the oil. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the oil starts to sizzle and the garlic becomes fragrant. This step allows the garlic to infuse the oil with its robust flavor.

3. Add the Corn
   Remove the baking dish from the oven. Carefully place the cleaned corn ears into the hot garlic oil, turning them to coat them thoroughly. Season the corn with salt and pepper to taste. The seasoning will enhance the flavor and complement the garlic.

4. Bake the Corn
   Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Be sure to turn the corn once halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking. The corn should become tender and infused with the garlic flavor.

5. Serve and Enjoy
   After baking, remove the dish from the oven and carefully take off the foil. Serve the garlic corn on the cob hot, and enjoy the delightful aroma and taste of this simple yet flavorful dish.
