*To roast the corn: Preheat oven to 375. Wrap each ear individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Cook for 15 minutes, turn each piece of corn over and bake for 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, husk, and silk. Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels from the corn while being careful not to cut down too deeply into the cob. Allow corn to cool completely before preparing the dip.
