Steps

1. 1

   Arrange the oven racks to ensure even spacing. Preheat the oven to 425°F in convection roast mode. Line a shallow-rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil.

2. 2

   Begin by removing the silk and most of the husks from each ear of corn, leaving just one layer. Moisten the corn by dipping it in water. Pull back the husks over the corn and arrange them on a baking sheet.

3. 3

   Coat the onions evenly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil before arranging them next to the corn on a baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes until the onions achieve a light brown color.
