Spicy Bacon Wrapped Corn
Spicy Bacon Wrapped Corn is one of my favorite ways to enjoy fresh summer corn. Fresh corn cobs are brushed with a mixture of melted butter and crushed red pepper flakes wrapped in bacon and roasted until the bacon is crispy.
Servings: 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 ears corn husks and silks removed
- 1 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 12 slices bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Combine melted butter and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Brush corn with butter mixture.
- Loosely wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each piece of corn. Place on prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, turning corn over halfway through.
Notes
For best results, DO NOT use thick-cut bacon.
When wrapping the corn, don't pull the corn tightly. Just loosely wrap it. It will shrink as it cooks.
To make extra spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to butter mixture.
