Notes: Roasted Corn: If you want to use fresh corn and roast it yourself. Take a piece of foil approx. 12 inches x 8 inches and spray it with butter spray or rub thin coating of margarine or butter. Sprinkle buttered foil with pepper; salt and garlic powder and wrap corn tight in foil. Bake in preheated oven at 450 degrees for about 1 hour until just tender.
