Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Remove the corn from the husks. Rinse the cobs, pat dry, then slice off the kernels of corn.
- In a large frying pan, heat olive oil with garlic and onion. Once the onion is translucent, add the corn. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the corn has softened. Remove from heat.
