Start by making compound butter with 1 stick of butter and parsley.

Add 2 tablespoons of honey to the butter.

Add salt and cayenne pepper to the butter; use about 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper instead of the original 1/2 teaspoon.

Mix the ingredients for the compound butter and place it in the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Shuck the corn and remove the silk strands.

Place the corn in the oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness as it may cook faster in a professional oven.

After roasting, butter the corn with the compound butter made earlier.

If needed, you can warm the corn back up in the oven.
