Mise En Place

Cook the corn
- Place the corn on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes and remove. If you would like the corn to be softer, unwrap & coat with the Cajun mixture. Rewrap and cook for 20 minutes more.At about 15 minutes into the cooking, be sure that you turn the corn to allow an even cook.
