+### Roasted Corn on the Cob Recipe
+#### Ingredients:
+- 4 ears of fresh corn, husked
+- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, softened
+- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
+- 1 teaspoon of paprika
+- 1 teaspoon of salt
+- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
+- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley (optional)
+- 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
+- Lemon wedges (optional)
+#### Instructions:
+1. **Preheat the Oven:**
+  - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
+2. **Prepare the Butter Mixture:**
+  - In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
+3. **Season the Corn:**
+  - Rub each ear of corn evenly with the butter mixture, making sure to cover all sides.
+4. **Roast the Corn:**
+  - Place the buttered corn ears on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
+  - Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning the corn every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting. The corn should be tender and slightly browned in spots.
+5. **Garnish and Serve:**
+  - Remove the corn from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
+  - Serve the roasted corn on the cob with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty twist.
+#### Additional Tips:
+- For added smokiness, you can grill the corn instead of roasting it. Just preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the corn for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
+- You can also experiment with other seasonings, such as chili powder, cumin, or lime zest, to customize the flavor to your liking.
