Corn is the queen of the fields, autumn gold, a favorite delicacy of many. What could be tastier than young fresh corn baked in the oven? Only corn baked with bacon. Such corn is much more aromatic and juicy, because when baked, all the juices remain inside its grains. Of course, freshly baked corn cobs in bacon are quite unusual to see in this role. But, nevertheless, the fruits are insanely tasty, slightly spicy and with a pronounced bacon taste. The meal is great for light snacks and picnic trips.
In addition to its amazing taste, corn also contains a lot of fiber, and you have to chew it for a long time, from which saturation comes when you don't have time to eat a lot. And this is just a find of those who are struggling with excess pounds and weight, or are on a diet. You can cook corn in this way all year round, in the summer from fresh cobs, and in the winter from frozen fruits. You can also diversify corn by supplementing bacon with all kinds of spices, spices and herbs. For example, put hot peppers, cilantro or basil greens, sprinkle on the cobs with "Italian herbs" or grate with squeezed garlic. By constantly varying the flavors, you can always get corn with a new interesting taste.

Cooking Oven Baked Corn with Bacon
1. Peel the corn leaves, rinse with running water and wipe with a dry towel so that there is no moisture on the cobs.
2. Cut the bacon into thin slices. To make it easier to cut more thinly, pre-hold the product in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes. When it freezes slightly, then with a sharp knife it will be possible to cut it into thin slices.
3. Wipe the corn with salt, and transfer the top and bottom strips of bacon along the entire length, or spirally twist them around the cobs.
4. Wrap the corn with baking parchment and cling foil on top. The parchment prevents adhesion and the foil retains heat transfer. If the corn is wrapped only in foil, then it can stick to the grain, and it will be impossible to eat it.
5. Place the ears on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake the corn at 180 ° C for 30-40 minutes. If you use fruits with ripe grains, then increase the cooking time to an hour.
6. Corn can be served for dinner, as an independent dish, or used as a side dish in an ideal combination with meat.
