how long to bake corn on the cob at 400

To bake corn on the cob at 400°F (200°C), you can follow these general guidelines:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Husk the corn and remove the silk.
3. Place the corn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
4. Drizzle with a little bit of oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning the corn every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown of the baking time:

* 10-12 minutes for slightly tender corn
* 15-17 minutes for tender corn
* 20-22 minutes for very tender corn

Keep in mind that the baking time may vary depending on the size and type of corn you’re using, as well as your personal preference for doneness. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the corn; if it slides in easily, it’s done.

It’s also worth noting that you can wrap the corn in foil and bake it at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally. This method helps retain moisture and can result in a more tender and juicy corn.
