Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and gather large sheets of aluminum foil.
  2. Combine olive oil with half of each Cajun spice and smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl, creating a flavorful paste.
  3. Husk and rinse the corn under cold water, then brush the oil and spice mixture over each corn cob.
  4. Wrap each ear tightly in aluminum foil and place on the oven rack.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes; unwrap and check tenderness. Bake for 20-25 more minutes if softer corn is desired.
